VIDEO: DRONESTAGRAM WINNERS TAKE PHOTOGRAPHY TO THE NEXT LEVEL!
Drones have opened the door to some new and creative ways to take on photography. Dronestagram is an online community for dedicated drone photographers, and being in the fourth year the Dronestagram International Drone Photography Contest has gained a strong following.
The photo contest is carried out in conjunction with National Geographic and breaks the contest into four separate categories: Nature, People, Urban and Creativity.
The photographers use drones to capture the world from a different and unique perspective. The Nature winning image came from jcourtial and was taken on a DJI Phantom 4, it depicts the lavender fields of Provence, France that are being trimmed. The People winning image came from Martin Sanchez, who took a stunning shot on a DJI Mavic in Manasquan, California. The Urban winning image came from bachirm, who took the image of the concrete jungle in Dubai with a DJI Phantom 4. Creativity is the new category for 2017 and the winning shot came from LukeMaximoBell, who captured an image showing fascinating shadows on a lake near Cape Town, South Africa.
