Top 15 Breathtaking Photos Courtesy of Consumer Drones

7. Followed by Shadows

Potential Drone: DJI Mini 2 Where to Purchase: DJI UAVs Price: $449* This 2020 Siena award-winning photo was taken by Haiquan Xiang. This image, titled "Follow by Shadows," is another illustration of how drones can photograph seemingly commonplace things and transform them into something extraordinary. Three zebras can be seen in Xiang's photo, with even larger shadows following them.

The Mini 2 is still a good drone for outdoor photography, even though it is smaller than the other DJI drones. The film "Followed by Shadows" was shot in Africa's plains. They were probably going over the plans to reach their typical habitat, the savannah forests.

8. Mother and Calf

Perhaps used drone: DJI Phantom 4 Pro Where to Purchase: DJI UAVs Price: $1,519* On February 26, 2019, Anders Carlson captured this lovely family portrait, "Mother and Calf." He took the picture with a Phantom 4 Pro, one of DJI's priciest (but best-looking) drones. Two humpback whales were seen swimming through the water in Carlson's photo, which was taken on a "windy day in Kona, Hawaii."

Mom and the calf via Instagram.com/Anders Carlson One of the most common types of whales, humpbacks, may be found in every ocean on the planet. Their physical morphology, which sets them apart from other whales with their knobby skull and long pectoral fins, makes them easier to identify. Their gestation period is 11 months, and for the first year of their lives, the babies—like the one in this picture—live with their mothers.
