There's nothing like a good dronie—the unique perspective, the otherworldly imagery and the fun of a selfie. So, when users of Dronestagram, an app devoted to drone photography, were asked to share their best work, the results, as expected, were astounding.
Dronestagram hosted its second annual International Drone Photography Contest
with some big sponsors, including National Geographic, GoPro, Adobe,
Kodak, Parrot, Hexo+ and Hobico. Dronestagram's head of
marketing, Guiallme Jarret, said, "Maybe because we live in a very
narcissistic period and the dronies represent a new way to see us, each
other, from above."
He added that dronies are all about having fun with the relatively new
technology: "Don't take yourself too seriously; you're just a human."
As drone use continues to evolve among the creative and technological
communities, here's a look at some of the best work being done today,
according to Dronestagram:
Above the Mist, taken in Maringa, Brazil, won first place in the Places category.
This snorkeling-with-sharks shot took first prize in the Nature category.
This shot was taken in La Jolla, Calif., and won second prize for Nature.
A photo above Mont Saint-Michel won second prize for Places.
This Mazatlan, Mexico, photo earned a third-place prize.
These tulip fields won third prize in the Places category.
