Commercial drones are relatively new, having only recently been introduced to the market. Photographers are ditching their conventional cameras to capture some of the most breathtaking images.
Aerial photography helped to change the world. Aerial photography, once the exclusive domain of governments, is now available to civilians. In 1882, an inventor invented the first photography drone. He used a kite with a timed explosive attached that activated a camera. Drones have become a thousand times more sophisticated.
Drones are a great way to see the world from a new perspective, whether you’re an expert or a beginner. However, they’re not a cheap hobby. Drones are sold on sites such as Amazon and can cost thousands of dollars. The technology in this area is still evolving, so images like these are only the beginning.

The Fishing Net is the title of this beautiful photo by Trung Pham. The Fishing Net, taken in Vietnam during the anchovy season, looks like a floating flower from above. Huy has not revealed which drone he uses, but given the nature of the picture it is likely that a Potensic T25GPS Drone would be useful.
Vietnam’s anchovy industry is a big deal. The industry has been featured in publications such as the Vietnam Times Daily Mail, and more. But for these hardworking fisherman, it is just another workday.
Amazon is where you can purchase the Potensic. The drone has a 1080P live video camera. It has a rating of 4.1/5 on the website. The wide-angle lens of the camera can be adjusted. The T25’s “Return To Home” feature is one of its coolest features. It will go back to its original starting point in the event of a signal loss.
