Our friends at SkyPixel are running a drone- and aerial-themed photography competition (https://www.skypixel.com/events/photocontest) and some of the submissions have been (very literally) over the top. This technology has already changed the way we capture our travels--providing new angles on everyday subjects. Here are 5 of our favorite photos from the contest so far.
