- 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.) - Saddle Island
- 'Angry Coastline'
The first 'drone' photo to make it onto my annual '10 favorites' list. This aerial photo of churning ocean waters near Bean Hollow Beach - in San Mateo County, California - was taken in the late afternoon, as the setting sun lit up the waves and the coastline beyond. (January 20, 2015. DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ quadcopter, 1/2150s @ f/2.8, 5 mm, ISO 100.) - Karapiro Dam
This photo - one of two drone photos in this year's list - shows the dam that forms Lake Karapiro, over the Waikato River in New Zealand's North Island. (January 8, 2018. DJI Mavic Pro, 1/1681s @ f/2.2, 4.73 mm, ISO 100.) - Coyle Park, Point Chevalier
- DJI 0004
- Whananaki, New Zealand
My favorite drone photo of 2019 was this photo of a small New Zealand seaside town, in the 'Golden Hour' shortly before sunset. (January 23, 2019. DJI Mavic Pro, 1/844s @ f/2.2, 4.73mm, ISO 100.) - St. Heliers, looking towards Musick Point
- High Bridge of Kentucky
This railway bridge - built in 1876 - was the first cantilever bridge in the U.S. This drone photo shows the bridge, its shadow, and its reflection in the Kentucky River. (May 18, 2018. DJI Mavic Pro, 1/1048s @ f/2.2, 4.73 mm, ISO 100.) - DJI 0020
