- The Three Sisters
My favorite drone photo of 2017 was this view of the 'Three Sisters' sea stacks on the northern coast of New Zealand's Taranaki region. I like the way that the line of cliffs and waves leads your eye towards the horizon. (December 22, 2017. DJI Mavic Pro, 1/4115s @ f/2.2, 4.73 mm, ISO 100.) - 'Three Sisters', Tongaporutu
