This chap is up to some underwater shenanigans for sure. We love the submerged view of the clouds though. Another fantastic GoPro photo from inviting waters.

Something with a little more bite

A massive shark shows off his razor-sharp teeth for all to enjoy - or at least cower in fear from. Hopefully, this GoPro user was safe inside a cage.

Up, up and away

On the wing of a glider or light aircraft, the humble GoPro gives us a brilliant view of the world from high above the earth.

These cameras are also strong favourites among parkour enthusiasts. You’ll often see these sorts of vertigo-inducing snaps from high above the rooftops.

Lake life looking lavish

Our world is truly stunning and with its compact and portable design, the humble GoPro is a great tool for capturing images of it wherever you are. 

Local legend

It seems that GoPro cameras aren’t just for taking photos and videos of people in action. They’re just as capable at snapping photos of local wildlife.
