196. Heart Shaped Reef

Possible Drone Used: DJI Mavic 3 Classic
Where to Buy: DJI.com
Cost: $2,049*
It’s amazing how nature can sometimes form unexpected landmarks that look so perfect, they seem human-made. This reef is known as Heart Reef (for obvious reasons), and it is part of the Great Barrier Reef of the Whitsundays in Australia. The coral composition has formed, naturally of course, into a heart shape.

Seeing it from the air, the way Grant Faint did with this drone photo, is probably the safest way as Heart Reef’s coral is very delicate and protected. A drone like the DJI Mavic 3 Classic, a waterproof drone, could have taken this beautiful image.

197. Bottlenose Dolphin in Blue Sea

Possible Drone Used: Yuneec Typhoon H Plus
Where to Buy: Amazon
Cost: $2,400*
Wonderful Nature took this photo of a lone bottlenose dolphin swimming through the Black Sea. The Black Sea is part of the Atlantic Ocean, and it is home to the Black Sea bottlenose dolphin, which differs from a regular bottlenose because it has a slight difference in genetic composition and cranial activity.

Photos like this are powerful, as they help raise awareness of the fact that, according to the Species Survival Network, the Black Sea bottlenose dolphin is under siege from habitat loss and pollution. The Black Sea’s ecosystem has been highly damaged over the years, a fact that should scare us all.

Possible Drone Used: DJI Mini 3 Pro
Where to Buy: Best Buy
Cost: $910*
Photo contributor @OlegRi took this suburban photograph of the “private houses” in what appears to be an Eastern European town. Suburban drone photography is quickly rising as somewhat of an offshoot of urban photography, as people have realized that the suburbs make for great material.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro could have easily taken this photo, and this drone is one of the best out there. It has a thirty-four-minute battery, though you can add an extended life battery to push your drone flights behind forty-five minutes, as long as you follow the appropriate legal procedures to do so.

This shallow salt lake is located in Potosi, Bolivia within the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna Nature Reserve. The salt lake gets its unique color from the red sediments and algae pigmentation beneath its surface. Laguna Colorada is famous not only for its rosy hue, but also for the many flamingos that call it home.

Where to Buy: Amazon
Cost: $1,468*
The Mavic drone is termed DJI’s flagship drone for a reason. The camera comes with a whole list of shiny features that enable it to take enchanting shots like these. The sad news is that the model is no longer in production, so you’ll only be able to get it off someone else’s hands. Even a used copy of a precious drone like this would greatly benefit any aerial photography enthusiast.

It makes a lot of sense why so many people rave about it when you take a look at the shots it has taken.

We cannot differentiate between legend and truth in these tales, but we do know that it is only in the eye of a brilliantly talented photographer to capture a building in its real-world aura like this.
