Drone photography has become all the rage in recent years for professional photogs. And why not? Instead of snapping that coveted pic of say, the Grand Canyon, from the same vantage point as thousands of others, drones offer a view that few — if any — have ever seen before. No longer limited to their feet on the ground, many professional photographers have taken their trade to the skies, and what’s come of it are the best drone photos you can imagine.
