These Drone Photos Are Absolutely Amazing

Before drones, only professional photographers who specialized in aerial photography had access to the world from above. Today, technology has democratized the air, making it possible for regular people to take mesmerizing aerial photographs. No helicopter needed. 

As technology has gotten better, so have people’s skills. This is what the Drone Photo Awards 2021 celebrates. The awards have selected the best drone photography around the world, separated into eight categories.
