Anything From Above Looks Beautiful, From A Soccer Field On A Small Island To The Sand Dunes Of Vietnam; join us To See Some Of This Beauty In The Skypixel Drone Photography Contest Winners.
Every year, SkyPixel selects the best drone photography works from thousands of participants in the aerial photography contest and awards exquisite prizes to the winners.
Derek Baumgartner, the grand prize winner of the fourth edition of the competition, won a set of camera accessories worth approximately $12,000 for his fantastic image of Mont Saint-Michel (an island located in Normandy, France).
Mont Saint-Michel, one of the magnificent and stunning attractions of France, which is also registered in the UNESCO World Heritage List, welcomes nearly 3 million visitors from all over the world every year; with all this, Baumgartner’s aerial photography skills seem to be a double glory and effect to this heritage.
He has given a precious gift, although receiving the grand prize of this competition for himself was very far from his mind.
It was a great feeling when I got the email and found out that I received the grand prize; I didn’t even think I had the slightest chance to be among the first hundred people! I have been interested in aerial photography since the first DJI Phantom drone model was released in 2013, and now I have a DJI Mavic Pro. I am still satisfied with its small size because I can easily take it on trips.
In the following, we will see some of the selected works of this competition.
