Dronestagram simply introduced the winners of their fourth annual International Drone Photography Contest in partnership with National Geographic, and the successful photos are unimaginable (not simply the primary place spots—we discovered first, second, and third all nicely price trying out).
The prizes for winners in every of the three foremost classes thought of—Nature, People, and Urban—contains objects just like the DJI Spark and a HOMIDO VR Headset. Get the small print for every prize in every class on Dronestagram’s web site.
Judges for the competition included National Geographic Deputy Director Patrick Witty; Jeff Heimsath, freelance picture editor; and Emanuela Ascoli, picture editor for National Geographic France and Dronestagram.
Quick observe—we had been excited to see our pal Luke Bell of South Africa win within the Creativity class for his image Two Moo (scroll right down to the primary image of the ultimate class to see it). Back in December Luke instructed us about how he’s been utilizing the lean shift impact to make movies of Capetown and surrounding areas. Congrats on the win Luke!
