It’s weird to think that drone photography is now in a category all on its own. However, from drone selfies to capturing images from a point of view otherwise not seen, it has to be a standalone genre of photography.
Just yesterday we shared haunting images that only a drone could capture, detailing the destruction in Baghdad after a double bomb went off on Saturday evening.
Now, after thousands of entries submitted by photographers into the third annual International Drone photography competition, the winners have been announced and they are absolutely spellbinding.
The competition was judged on creativity and photographic quality by a panel of judges, including National Geographic Deputy Director Patrick Witty, Emanuela Ascoli, Photo editor of National Geographic France and Dronestagram.
Placed in three categories, here are the top three in Travel, Sports Adventure, and Nature Wildlife. Compared to last year, entrants have definitely upped their game.
