Rocky Coast

Where: Reunion Island
Jonathan Payet is responsible for this beautiful drone shot taken on Réunion Island in France. The area, known for its volcanic landmark (the Piton de la Fournaise), coral reefs and immaculate beaches, provides surprises at every turn. Seen here is the popular coastline, with some of the rocks illuminated due to exposure to algae from the water. It almost looks like a painter took their brush through an original, which gives the scene somewhat of a melancholy flair too.

Time for a Bath
Photograph Credit: Martin Sanchez
Where: Tanzania
Drone photographers love any opportunity to photograph African animals in the wild, and this particular shot shows exactly why. Taken during “bathtime” in a reserve in Tanzania, this picture shows Hippos in one of their most notorious rituals within their own community. Martin Sanchez probably couldn’t believe his luck when he came about this bloat, who were likely totally unbothered by the sound of the drone overhead. That might have something to do with their bulletproof skin.
