There’s a huge buzz around Drones these days. It seems to be a relatively simple concept although its possibilities for everyday use are immense and still being explored. Perhaps one of the most interesting ways to utilize Drone technology is for photography.
Aerial Drone photography has emerged as a new kind of visual language and given us a new perspective of the world. Given this new golden age of aerial Drone photography, we’ve decided to showcase some of the best of what’s out there. So we’ve compiled a series taken from in and around Sri Lanka. From the central highlands to the beaches of the East Coast, here are our top picks:
- The foamy textures of the Talpe coastline
- Off-season in Mirissa showing off beautiful shades of green and blue
- The picturesque hills of Haputale as the evening mist begins to set in
- A waterfall trickles its way down a cinnamon plantation in Ratnapura
