In the last couple of years the use of drones in photography has risen in popularity, sparking the rise of sites such as Dronestagram – the drone equivalent of the hugely popular Instagram. Whilst not everyone has a drone, thanks to how easily available they now are the number of amateur and professional drone owners is growing quickly.
This year Dronestagram partnered with the likes of National Geographic, Go Pro and Adobe in order to bring us the 2015 Drone Aerial Photography Contest, the results of which are breathtaking to say the least.
