Drones, once the domain of mainly professionals and well-to-do hobbyists, have slowly become more accessible to even the biggest penny-pinchers. Costs have dropped substantially over the past few years, and during this span, we have seen the technology advance exponentially.
While early designs were more of a backyard novelty (and often a nuisance) than anything else, the latest drone models are loaded with advanced cameras and stabilization technology that allows for more practical outdoor uses. Now designed with extended operational range, long gone are the days of simply buzzing — and often caroming — about the backyard or neighborhood. Whether you’re traversing the bridges of a modern city or hiking a mountain far from civilization’s reach, there are sights worth preserving in a photograph, and while handheld cameras can capture the human perspective, drones offer a new point of view.
As the demand for drones has increased, so too has the market, with different manufacturers looking to cater to each specific industry niche. While pint-sized quadcopters are well-suited for navigating narrow indoor environments, there are hundreds of more powerful brutes on the market designed to handle the gustier conditions often involved with aerial photography. We should know — we have tested dozens of drones over the years and curated a comprehensive roundup of our favorites.
These enhancements and the general pivot toward drone-based aerial imaging is changing the field of photography, and even the photojournalism game as we know it. To illustrate this burgeoning photography market, SkyPixel, an aerial photography community run together with drone manufacturer DJI, received more than 27,000 photo submissions from 131 countries during its 2016 annual photography contest.
We have included some of these winners as well as choice selections from sites like Dronestagram — an Instagram account entirely dedicated to aerial drone photography — among others in this gallery of truly epic drone photos. From awe-inspiring views of World Heritage Sites and tantalizing up-close glimpses of lava-spewing volcanoes to sights of the shifting sands along the Arabian Desert, here are 50 of our favorite drone photos from around the globe.
If you enjoy this photo gallery, you may also want to check out our favorite space photos. We’ve also put together a beginner’s guide to aerial photography, if you’re looking to get into the hobby.

WWE2K18 LAUNCH DATE

By
WWE 2K18 will launch for PC on October 17, which is the same day as the console versions, 2K Sports announced. That's notable because it's the first time in the history of the wrestling game series that the PC and console editions are launching on the same day. October 17 is the release date for WWE 2K18's standard and deluxe editions, both of which will be available on PC through Steam on that day. On PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, people who pre-order can start playing four days early. This offer is not available on PC, but pre-order shoppers on PC will get two versions of Kurt Angle at launch . The PC versions of WWE 2K games historically have launched after the console versions. Last year's WWE 2K17 was released in February 2018 , about four months after the console versions arrived. Today's news is no doubt good for PC users looking to play as soon as possible, and it's probably a bottom-line booster for 2K Sports parent publisher Take-Two Interactive as we...

GOOGLE INTRODUCES NEW UPDATE IN GOOGLE MAPS

By
Google introduced a new update to Google Maps: when you zoom all the way out, the Earth will no longer be displayed as a flat surface, but as a globe. It’s a change that allows the map to more accurately display the Earth. The search company highlighted the change on its Google MapsTwitter feed, saying that with the new 3D Globe Mode, “Greenland’s projection is no longer the size of Africa.” The change is only available on the desktop interface; it’s still flat in its mobile app. Up until now, Google Maps has used Mercator projection, which projects the planet onto a flat surface. While this style makes it easy to print onto maps and has largely become standardized, it presents a distorted image of the Earth. Objects around the equator are to scale relative to one another, while objects closer to the poles appear larger than they really are. A good example of this is the relative sizes of Greenland and Africa. On a Mercator map, Greenland appears larger than Africa, when in r...
