Breathtaking Winning Images of The 2021 Drone Photo Awards

Photo of the year: Pink-Footed Geese Meeting the Winter by Terje Kolaas

The Drone Photo Awards is the largest aerial photography and video competition. The pictures come from all over the world and allow us to see the world with a little more height.

We discover what we cannot discover from below, such as the geometric shapes that landscapes can take, but also the colors and their associations. All the winners will be exhibited in November 2021 in Siena, Italy. Among the winning images, the Grand Prize was awarded to Terje Kolaas, it is an impressive flight of geese. In the sports category, we find the photograph of a surfer, Ollie Henry, who caught a huge wave off the coast of southwestern Australia. It was taken by Phil from Glanville. In the “Urban” category, Sergei Poletaev won first place with a “Metaphorical statement about the city and winter”.
