10 Of The World’s Best Drone Photos, Out Of 27,000 Contestants

Drones looked like UFOs just a few years back, but during that time they’ve rapidly attained recognition and fame. Now we have awards for best drone photography, such as SkyPixel Photo Contest, which only in 2016 have received 27,000 submissions.

The competition was open to both expert and beginner photographers and was classified into three categories: 360, Beauty, and Drones in Use. The results are rather unbelievable, turning everyday situations into surreal imagery. Encouraging us once again, that the possibility of aerial photography is still far from realized.
