We’ve seen before just howimpressive drone photographscan be. There are more and more drones available now, many of which are more than capable of capturing incredible footage.
Drone photographers though, need more than the right equipment, the ability to fly and aknowledge of the regulations. They also needan eye for a great photo.
Drones can be used for capturing all kinds of aerial images shot from above are often impressive. At the right angle though, sometimes they can look like a work of abstract art more than a simple snap of our world.
Mike and JP Andrews working under the Instagram handle@abstractaerialartcertainly have a flair for capturing these sorts of images. Take a journey with us through a collection of our favourite photos published by the two British brothers.
The terminal
The Instagram brothers took this image at an airport terminal, but they noted in the caption:
“Yes, this is an airport. Yes, we had permission to do this from the on site security. No, we did not disrupt any air traffic!.. the place is abandoned!”
Don’t try this at home, or at an airport.
A pink ocean
This looks like sand that’s drifted in the wind and somehow mixed with some wonderfully pink material, but maybe it’s an unusual ocean view.
Who can tell? We just like to imagine it’s a seaside retreat on a distant planet, far, far out of our solar system.
A lone fighter with sleek lines and an equally sleek finish makes for another awesome aerial snap.
Quite amusing to see one flying vehicle capturing an image of another as well.
Rocky paradise
The colours and contours of the surrounding sea contrast wonderfully with the jagged rocks.
A lone rocky island sits surrounded by beautiful waters.
Floral boat show
These moored boats make for a nice accidental man-made flower. We love the lines and colours of these sorts of images.
Winding roads
Whenever we see a photo like this, we wish we were in an open-top sports car blasting down these winding roads.
This aerial view certainly shows this tarmac wasn’t laid over Roman roads. Makes for an incredible view though.
Aquaculture pools
This colourful view shows an aerial angle of manmade breeding pools for salt and freshwater fish. Colourful waters, brilliant lines and an excellent photo work wonders together.
These were just a sample of some of the best drone photos from Abstract Aerial Art. Be sure tocheck out the account on Instagramto enjoy even more aerial imagery brilliance.
Homes by the water
Neat waterways and careful property development make for an interesting residential area.
This layout also conjures an incredible view when snapped from this angle.
Amazing aerial maze
This aerial view of a man-made maze makes for an impressive work of art - both in terms of the photo and the lines of the maze itself.
The downed plane
A crashed plane surrounded by undergrowth. The straight lines of the fuselage contrast perfectly with the messy natural vegetation that surrounds it.
We like how the plane almost looks furry from above too.
