Drones get a bad rap. Yes, the kind with bombs are evil but pretty much anything “with bombs” is going to suck. However, they can be put to good use, capturing images that humans can’t. Take, for example, this footage of an active volcano or this plan for capturing images from the surface of Venus. In yet another example, this footage from Maui-based filmmaker Justin Edwards captures stunning images of a humpback whale and her calf using a GoPro HD HERO3 attached to a drone.
