If you’ve recently hooked yourself up with a drone, and have gone on to post images taken with your new toy on Instagram, you might have noticed a slight rise in your followers.

Especially if you are down with all twenty drone-related hashtags.

Because, for many reasons, drone photography is still going strong.

So, as costs come down and the likes of the DJI Mavic Spark hit the market, the revolution continues to grow for photographers and videographers alike.

Another platform on which to share your best drone captures is Dronestagram. Each year, the drone photo-sharing site releases their favourite images, and this year is no different.

Selected by the site’s moderators, the full showcase features a diverse range of snaps. Here’s a selection of my favourites:

Alexandria Bay, New York

Namibia

Bac Lieu Province, Vietnam

Sveti Stefan, Montenegro

Nunavut, Canada

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Gullfoss waterfall, Iceland

Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Told you they were spectacular. You can see all 20 here.
