The INSIDER Summary:

The 2017 International Drone Photography Contest announced its winners.

Categories include People, Nature, and Urban.

It's no mystery why photographers around the world rely on drones to capture incredible shots of people, cities, and sweeping landscapes.

Drones take mind-bending photos from perspectives that would be impossible for humans to reach. They show broad, stunning patterns without sacrificing minute details. And they're super fun to play around with.

Dronestagram, a drone photography sharing website and community, teamed up with National Geographic to pick the 12 best pictures out of thousands of entries.
