Drones give a bird’s eye view without disturbing the scenery. Body cameras like the GoPro let us shoot from a first-person perspective. GoPros have become the go-to gadget for recording the adventures of adrenaline junkies. We’ve gathered some awesome photos that are sure to give you chills.

The first-person point of view gets even more exciting when daredevils and thrill seekers bring their cameras to cool places. The adrenaline junkie who took this picture was kind enough to bring us to the very top of a high building. Be careful when looking down! 

Pictured above is a humongous gray whale beneath a boat of tourists. Of course, it could quite easily flip the vessel if it wanted to, but luckily, this sweet animal only gave the boat and its passengers a tiny love tap before going on its way. 

The juvenile whales watch their mother splash around with the woman. These “killer” whales are actually sweet when interacting with humans. This woman has a fantastic story to share, with an equally impressive photo to back it up!

The hammerhead swam near the man for a while before heading off. Fortunately, the shark doesn’t seem to have minded the man in the water. With a bird’s eye view, it’s easy for us to think of what could have happened. We can’t even imagine how shocked he was when he saw this footage.

In the shot above, a drone catches the perfect shot of six crocodiles. These crocs have all arranged themselves in a circle, facing toward the middle. Whatever prey is in the middle of this deadly formation, we wish them luck getting out of it.

What we do know is that it is one unlucky pig. But, on the other hand, the photographer is lucky to have captured the exact moment that the crocodile floated to the surface with the poor pig. The croc will undoubtedly enjoy this delicious meal after a long day of playing predator.

The photo above gives meaning to the term “survival of the fittest” in action. Of course, the firsthand experience of this wouldn’t be possible without the incredible technology of drone photography. Still, seeing this spectacle from boats that were close enough must have been an experience to remember.

What’s scarier than one shark? Seventy sharks swarming below you in a feeding frenzy. With this crystal clear water, you can see just that. Seventy sharks gathered around a large whale carcass. Luckily no one on the boats fell into the shark-infested waters below.

Not only did he turn the camera on himself but he curiously inspected the object before moving on and leaving it behind. Lucky for us, the hunter shared the incredible footage of the bear playing with the camera online.

She had turned her camera on only moments before the fall to capture the beautiful waterfall. Her misstep cost her broken ribs and a collapsed lung. Fortunately, she did make a full recovery!

You might also notice an ominous-looking figure in the background. While it might appear like a secret sea monster, it is actually just another diver exploring the great blue sea. No mermaids here!

We’re not sure we totally understand the thrill seekers who live this close to the edge. This camera angle is enough to make us want to take a step back to safety.

The adventurer said that he chose the location because of how high it was. He could not pass up the opportunity to climb the crane and film some footage from high above. He’s either very brave or very stupid. You decide!

Reef sharks are relatively small (but no less terrifying) than other species of shark. They grow to be about 10 feet in length. That’s definitely big enough to give you a frightening shock! He fights the shark off with a spear which you can see in the image.

You can almost feel your stomach drop from free fall by looking at this photo. He’s not the only one enjoying the fall. You can see another thrill chaser in the background enjoying his own flying experience.

The bridge is the longest glass-bottomed trail in the world and it wraps around the mountain in a spiral. While there’s no denying the stunning scenery, we prefer to experience it with our feet planted firmly on the ground.

You can see the school of fish perfectly avoiding the shark so they don’t become today’s lunch. It’s fascinating to watch them evade the predators from above.

We are fortunate that a drone from above caught this family feast on camera. This is the kind of scene marine scientists and researchers long to see for their entire careers. Drones allow for incredible footage of wildlife without disturbing it.

A combination of excellent drone cameras and clear water allow for us to examine this sunken ship from above. It makes you wonder what the story surrounding this mysterious ship is. What might divers find there if they were to explore it.

He sets up the camera on the edge of the building and starts doing insane stunts. One small move could mean falling over. Even a light breeze could knock him over. It makes us cringe to watch but he seems to know what he’s doing.

The boat is maybe half the size of the humpback whale behind it. It gives us that familiar feeling of fear and awe at the same time. Like so many other drone photos, it’s stunning and terrifying all at once.

It’s pretty incredible to see this many stingrays moving in such close quarters together. But can you imagine accidentally swimming into this group? Their barbs can be fatal. Ouch!

We’re sure this man was completely shocked (and probably frightened) when these 2 beasts swam directly under his board. He’s lucky they didn’t make too many waves as they passed. They’re probably more interested in the fish than the man, but we sure wouldn’t want to come face to face with these animals in the deep blue sea alone.

It is actually a perfectly normal sinkhole that can result from unstable ground. But if you didn’t know that, you might be absolutely terrified at the sight of this daunting opening in the water. The lesson here is “watch where you swim” unless you want to be sucked into inner earth.

The two are working together to capture the krill coming to the surface of the water and enjoying their catch. It’s a beautiful example of natural feeding processes that we don’t always get to see so close up.

The limbs appear to be disjointed and it’s just all around creepy. If that wasn’t enough for you, the creator turns out to be a convicted murderer. It’s decayed over time because it was a popular children’s playground and time has not been kind.

A drone camera caught this chilling scene of a clown lurking in a field. It’s a bone chilling scene because the clown stares dead into the camera with a curious head tilt. It feels like he can see us!

We’re not sure what inspires a person to stand on the very edge and look down, but it sure makes for a goosebump-inducing photo. We sure hope this person is strapped in because at a height like that, there’s no surviving a fall.

The fish are too smart to put themselves in the sharks’ path so they create these interesting shapes as they avoid them as a group. It’s an unbelievable scene to watch from above.

As it turns out, the answer is simple. It’s art. A group of artists created this 200-foot long creature. But they didn’t plan on it eroding away so quickly. What was once a giant pink bunny is now a gray-ish decayed piece of fabric.

This man obviously likes to live on the edge (literally). We don’t think he could be closer to falling even if he tried. It looks like he’s not even holding onto anything because his one hand is visible in the image and we assume the other is holding the camera.

It gives us the chills to see the distance between this man and the water below. While these brave men were all professionals, dives from these heights often result in injury.

Fortunately, it looks like this woman has herself strapped to the rope so she won’t fall to her demise. But not only is she walking the line, she is doing yoga on the line. We’re impressed but also very on edge.

When he gets a little too close for comfort, the fisherman decides he needs to fight him off before he ends up in the water. His weapon of choice is a broom that happened to be onboard. Thankfully, it was effective.

From this angle, you can even see the jagged rocks that litter the water below. Not only is this location one of the craziest high dives we’ve ever seen, but Spider has an interesting take on life-threatening jumps. Right before he dives, he simply says, “No problem”.

The climber uses crevices and cracks in the face of the rocks to climb. A mountain like this is especially shocking, because it is basically a vertical straight up climb to the top. You can imagine what happens if one rock comes loose or one hand is placed incorrectly.

A fall would certainly be fatal based on the height of the cliff and the jagged nature of all the rocks below. Those helmets probably aren’t going to be enough to protect from a fall like this. We’ll stick to the regular bike paths, but to each their own!

Climbers hang their belongings and tents from hooks in the side of the mountain to take some time to sleep! I’m not sure how much rest I’d get hanging above a drop this high.

This drone image captures a wide view of the town, offering a glimpse into the beauty of a cliffside charm. You can almost hear the sound of the water thrashing against the edge of the cliff.

Doing a handstand on a ledge is certainly daring. But we have to hand it to him; it takes a whole lot of skill to perform a balancing act like this in a place like that. This is one guy who definitely takes his core exercises very seriously. 

This man is on a ledge, looking ahead onto another ledge across from him. He has a stance like he is about to jump, or maybe he is only contemplating what step he wants to take. Either way, we wonder if he did jump; who knows, maybe he made it.

One thing is for sure, the man in this GoPro image is one brave soul. With one hand holding on and the other poised for a shaka sign, it captures the true meaning of a shaka sign which means to “hang loose.”

This man was able to capture a beautiful moment by the waterfalls with his GoPro cam; this way, he has something to look back on whenever he thinks back to this exact memory. On your next vacation trip, be sure to get yours to capture your special memories.
