Majestic beast
FLORIAN LEDOUX “This polar bear was crossing the melting ice during the summer. Polar bears are facing a range of threats that might impact their future; they are among the first refugees of climate change. I will always remember my first polar bear encounter – I cried during the three hours we stayed close to them! It is such an incredible animal, a combination of power and control, they walk withmajesty and stand with wisdom.” TECH DETAILS Location: Tremblay Sound, Nunavut, Canada Drone: DJI Phantom 4 Pro+ Camera: Integrated Lens: 24mm (35mm format equivalent) Aperture: f/8 Shutter speed: 1/640sec.

St Joseph lighthouse
STACY GARLINGTON “A colleague and I had finished teaching a class to fly drones that day, and we were on our way home. I don’t live too far from Michigan, so I knew that the east side of the lake has a lot of these beautiful lighthouses, which are perfect for photography because the sun always sets behind them. We planned to stop along the lake and this lighthouse was easy to get to, plus there were no no-fly zones – so it was the right time and the right place, with the right conditions. This is a photograph that’s all about the sunset, with the leading line of the pier taking your eye to the setting sun.” TECH DETAILS Location: St. Joseph, Michigan, USA Drone: DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Camera: Integrated Lens: 24mm (35mm format equivalent) Aperture: f/2.8 Shutter speed: 1/140sec. ISO 100
