The best photos from 4th annual International Drone Photography Contest 2017

With the popularization of drone, photography involves an entirely different way of studying the globe. Photographers and amateurs alike can send their cameras soaring over the floor to capture airborne views formerly untapped.

The birds-eye view is ideal for shooting striking aerial arenas.

The competition has just entered its fourth season, and the winning shots will be all you would expect for--visually breathtaking and utterly pulse-pounding.

"Drones are getting to be an increasingly accessible approach to acquire a new outlook on the planet," Eric Dupin, CEO of Dronestagram states. "There actually are no actual limitations concerning where a shot can occur anymore."

The competition includes four classes-- character, people, urban, and imagination. Find more drone photograph submissions on the competition website here and see more.
