37 photos that can no longer be taken from an unmanned drone

The popularity of photos taken from unmanned aerial vehicles can only be compared with recordings of incredible first-person stunts captured by GoPro body cameras. But drones, apparently, are not destined to become a mass entertainment, since their "pilots", unlike the same extreme athletes, risk not only their lives.

Restrictions on the use of drones in public places follow around the world following an 18-month period of permissiveness since the first photo flight. It was during these one and a half years that photographer Amos Chapple traveled around many countries to shoot breathtaking panoramas of world attractions.

We have collected a collection of 37 of the best works of the photographer, many of which are already unlikely to be repeated without special permission, without fear of being outlawed.

1. The first tourists pass through the gate to the Taj Mahal.

2. Barcelona, Spain.

3. The Parisian church of the Sacre Coeur Basilica in the pre-dawn fog.

4. Victoria Lighthouse on the background of the Gulf of Trieste, Italy.

5. Hotel "Ukraine", Moscow.

8. Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey.

9. Hill Hill 3 above the northern slums of Mumbai.

10. Beach in Abkhazia.

11. The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. During this flight, the photographer's drone lost control due to interference created by Wi-Fi signals, and crashed to pieces.

12. The Lotus Temple in New Delhi, India.

13. Fishing boat pier in Mumbai, India.

14. Alexander Column in St. Petersburg, Russia. The abundance of pre-dawn images is explained by the fact that the photographer tried to choose this time so as not to disturb tourists and not make ordinary passers-by nervous.

15. Two wrestlers are engaged in traditional koshti wrestling in a hole that they dug two hours earlier, India.

16. The Kura River, which flows through Tbilisi, Georgia.

17. The statue "Worker and collective farmer" in Moscow. Out of about a hundred photos that the drone takes during the flight, only about 10-20% are successful.

21. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Peterhof, St. Petersburg, Russia.

22. Star-shaped fort, Burtange, the Netherlands. The photographer almost never lets the drone go far away from him, trying to keep it above him and within sight.
