Kilt rock
JEROME COURTIAL “The Isle of Skye really blew my mind in terms of the sheer beauty of its landscape. On the summer evening I shot this, we had planned to capture the sunset on the Old Man of Storr. As we started hiking to the top, we realized that the sunset wasn’t going to work with the rock; it was turning into a magnificent sunset, but we were just at the wrong spot for it. In a panic, I reached out for my phone to see if there were other locations we could try nearby. I had saved Kilt Rock as a highlight, so we ran back to
the car, and 15 minutes later I was up in the air and could capture this magical shot.”

PETRA LEARY “This old church courtyard in the side streets of downtown Auckland, New Zealand, was one of the first places where I used a drone. Unfortunately, I lost the files from my original shoot, so the plan was to reshoot the same concept of colorful umbrellas against the tiled patterns. I convinced my friend, Marie, to be my umbrella holder, andwe headed downtown early on a Sunday morning, when I knew the citywould be nice and empty. The weather was gray and overcast, which I usually don’t like for drone photography as it can make everything look very flat and dull. For this composition it worked nicely, though, as it meant no shadows
were being cast and the focuswas purely on the juxtaposition of the bright umbrellas against the grimy courtyard tiles.” TECH DETAILS Location: Central Business District, Auckland, New Zealand Drone: DJI Mavic Pro Camera: Integrated Lens: 28mm (35mm format equivalent) Aperture: f/2.2 Shutter speed: 1/200sec.

JP AND MIKE ANDREWS “We love to find and photograph interesting and unusual shapes that have been created by familiar objects. The canals of the United Kingdom are a major part of the network of inland waterways and the majority of these canals can accommodate boats with a length of up to 80ft (24m), which are now used primarily for leisure. This image shows one of the many marinas that are full of colourful canal boats; wondering how tricky it must be to navigate these boats in such tight spaces gave us the inspiration for the title.” TECH DETAILS Location: Warwick Drone: DJI Phantom 4 Pro Camera: Integrated Lens: 24mm (35mm format equivalent) Aperture: f/4 Shutter speed: 1/320sec.
