Cost: $799* Ovi D Pop, a drone photographer, won the Drone Awards in the “Abstract” Category with his shot “Weather Snake,” which is so perfectly cropped that it nearly appears to be an optical illusion.

The Hungarian name for the commune of Derna is Felsoderna because of its proximity to the border with northern Romania. Chislaz, Bursturi, Spinus, and Popesti are its neighbors. Temperatures in Romania can drop as low as -37.3 degrees Fahrenheit in a single year. It reached 112 degrees Fahrenheit less than ten years later.
Although the specific drone used is unknown, the aerial shot could have been achieved with a drone like the DJI Mavic Air 2, which the manufacturer claims allows users to “Master the Skies.” On Google, it has a rating of 5 out of 5. It’s not inexpensive, but the artistic results it allows photographers to achieve make it worthwhile.
