Tang Jiongming The color design is ingenious, and it can produce different color effects from a far view and a close view. The lines are smooth and really fly. It's like a painting.

South Moravian hills and fields in early spring, CZ. The large area of South Moravian hills is quite difficult to photograph from above - but when you get to the right place, it literally flies. I found this particular place between Bílovice and Čejkovice by a chance, it is not one of the usual South Moravian photo locations. I spent a lot of time with this photo sailing on its waves, because it contains several almost optical illusions (sometime due to eroding surface due to removed trees, which is nothing great actually...)

Biography

Daniel Franc uses a drone to create fine art photographs that are about a new perspective on the external and internal worlds. He got his first drone more or less by accident in 2017 and since then he has been visiting places with it in the most common parts of the world around us, as well as more exotic destinations.
