While I’m amazed by what man can capture with a handheld camera, I’m very partial to drone-captured footage of wildlife. Drones allow us to get up close and personal with animals we wouldn’t otherwise be able to approach, unless by chance. We get stunning shots of beautiful animals, like whales, without invading their natural habitat.
This drone caught some amazing footage of a humpback whale, and this one caught a rare moment of a whale shooting a rainbow out of its blowhole. Both moments completely blew me away.
This newest footage shows a lone paddle boarder in Australia being cautiously approached by two whales.
What I love the most about this video is how peaceful it seems. The setting is absolutely beautiful, and the whale and the paddle boarder seem to be so at ease with one another in this shared environment.
The paddle boarder is already dwarfed by the vastness of the ocean, but the whales next to him make you truly realize just how small we are compared to these magnificent creatures.I would give anything to be that paddle boarder! He’s very lucky to experience this once-in-a-lifetime moment that this drone caught. (And we're quite lucky it was shared with the world!)
Please SHARE if you think this footage is stunning, too!
