Introducing the winners of the 2017 drone photography competition

The World Of Photography Has Experienced Many Ups And Downs Over The Years, And Apparently, The Entry Of Drones  Into This Field Has Played An Important Role In Its Transformation.

Since we see more awards being allocated to photography competitions every year, the share of aerial photography is also increasing unconsciously, and this is how drones opened their doors to the world of photography competition awards. One of these contests, perhaps one of the most important and prestigious, is “Dronestagram.”

Recently, during the fourth edition of this international competition, we witnessed the announcement of the winners of this competition.

Drones these days have provided a new way to show a unique perspective of the world, which is quickly becoming popular.

This is the opinion of “Eric Dupin” (Eric Dupin), the director of this competition, who believes that there are no physical limitations to this method of photography. Therefore, photography can be done anywhere and at any time.
