Drones have become an indispensable tool for professional photographers. Zipping through the sky, these tiny aircraft manage to take otherworldly shots and showcase the world from a new aerial perspective. The Drone Photo Awards share the best this field has to offer year after year, and we're happy to share that the 2022 contest winners have been finally announced.
This year's Drone Photo Awards determined the winner among 2,624 photos by contestants from 116 countries. The honorable title of best drone photographer went to French photographer Armand Sarlangue for his entry named The Big Bang. Shrouded in mystery, the photo first appears as a heavenly body glowing ominously in the blackness of space, but in reality, the award-winning photo was captured right here on Planet Earth. The photo depicts a secondary fissure not far from the main crater of the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland.
