10 Of The World’s Best Drone Photos, Out Of 27,000 Contenders
Drones seemed like UFOs just a couple years back, but during that time they’ve fastly gained recognition and popularity. Now we have awards for best drone photography, like SkyPixel Photo Contest, which only in 2016 have received 27,000 submissions.
The competition was open to both professional and amateur photographers and was divided into three categories: 360, Beauty, and Drones in Use. The results are rather incredible, turning everyday scenarios into surreal imagery. Reassuring us once again, that the potential of aerial photography is still far from realized.
