The 2023 DJI SkyPixel contest results are in, and the predictions Thomas made last October came true almost across the board — the grand prize and many winners indeed use telephoto lenses, simpler compositions and strong storytelling. This article walks through why the grand-prize image \"Mongolian Yurt\" rewards a long look, and a batch of human-centered drone telephoto works.","b":false},{"t":"p","x":"去年点评月赛时托马斯说过两句话：有时一个更长的焦段、一个更简洁更纯粹的构图，会比纳入更多杂乱的风景更优秀；如果要投稿天空之城，请让照片里有一些故事、一些人类的瞬间、一些人类的情感，它会更加打动人。这次的获奖名单，正是对这两句话的最好印证（视频 1:04-1:29 处）。","xe":"When reviewing the monthly preliminaries last October, Thomas made two points: a longer focal length and a simpler, purer composition often beat cramming in more cluttered scenery; and if you enter SkyPixel, give your photo a story — a human moment, human emotion — because that is what moves people. This year's winners list is the best possible proof of both (at 1:04-1:29 in the video).","b":false},{"t":"h","x":"01 预测应验：大奖是一幅风俗画","xe":"01 Prediction Confirmed: a Grand Prize Painted Like Genre Art"},{"t":"p","x":"先看年度大奖《蒙古包》，来自一位中国摄影师（视频 1:41-1:56 处）。它记录的是冰雪那达慕的场景。说实话乍一看并不强硬——你可能会疑惑，这样的照片怎么能拿大奖？我们不妨看看评委的点评（视频 2:04 处）。","xe":"Start with the grand prize \"Mongolian Yurt\" by a Chinese photographer (at 1:41-1:56 in the video). It records the Ice-and-Snow Naadam festival. Honestly, at first glance it does not hit hard — you might wonder how such a photo wins the top prize. The judges' comments are worth reading (at 2:04 in the video).","b":false},{"t":"img","f":"v01","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"评委的核心关键词是「耐看」，因为它有极多的细节：前景的骆驼，蒙古包旁几个穿着传统服饰说话的人，后面的赶马人群，远处的森林，更远处还有正在吃草的马（视频 2:13-2:33 处）。这一幅图景非常生动，你能从照片里读到蒙古当地人的居住环境、自然环境、民族服饰和许许多多的故事——所以说它非常耐看。","xe":"The judges' keyword is \"rewarding to look at, again and again,\" because the details are endless: camels in the foreground, several people in traditional dress chatting beside the yurt, horse herders behind them, forests farther out, and grazing horses beyond even that (at 2:13-2:33 in the video). The scene is vividly alive — from this one frame you can read how Mongolian herders live, the nature around them, their ethnic dress, and story after story. That is what makes it so rewarding.","b":false},{"t":"p","x":"这张照片显然是用御 3 Pro 的长焦拍摄的（视频 2:55-3:08 处）。托马斯说过，长焦对于摄影师的意义不亚于无人机刚刚问世——它让空中的航拍长焦成为可能。拍这样的场景，以前用无人机贴近，毫无疑问会打扰现场的人；而且离得近，透视就是西方绘画那种近大远小的强烈关系。要呈现国画般高远平缓的透视，必须在空中用长焦来完成。用无人机拍人文的时代，已经到来了（视频 3:08-3:49 处）——当然，这里的人文不是街头扫街或肖像，而是展现人与环境、人与生存空间的故事。","xe":"The photo was clearly shot on the Mavic 3 Pro's telephoto camera (at 2:55-3:08 in the video). Thomas has said the telephoto matters to photographers as much as the drone's invention did — it makes aerial telephoto possible. Getting this close with a wide-angle drone would inevitably disturb the people on site, and proximity forces the Western near-big-far-small perspective; to achieve the gentle, lofty perspective of Chinese painting you must compress from the air with a telephoto. The era of drone documentary photography has arrived (at 3:08-3:49 in the video) — documentary here meaning not street shots or portraits, but stories of people and the spaces they live in.","b":false},{"t":"img","f":"v02","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"看到这张照片，托马斯立刻想起清代的《冰嬉图》——无论构图还是色彩都与它非常相似；包括《清明上河图》的局部，都是高远的意境、极有层次的场景，以及场景里的人和他们的生存环境（视频 4:03-4:36 处）。中国的评委看到它想到传统绘画，国外的两位评委则想到了西方的木刻画与铜版画。一张让大家既熟悉又耐看、还觉得蒙古民俗如此有意思的照片，拿大奖实至名归——它也预示着无人机人文佳作时代的到来（视频 4:37-5:20 处）。","xe":"On seeing it, Thomas immediately thought of the Qing dynasty painting \"Ice Amusements\" — nearly identical in composition and color — and of sections of \"Along the River During the Qingming Festival\": the same lofty perspective, richly layered scenes, and people embedded in their environment (at 4:03-4:36 in the video). The Chinese judges saw traditional Chinese painting in it; the two international judges thought of Western woodcuts and copperplate engravings. A photo at once familiar, endlessly viewable and eye-opening about Mongolian folk life fully deserves the grand prize — and it heralds the arrival of an era of drone documentary masterpieces (at 4:37-5:20 in the video).","b":false},{"t":"h","x":"02 长焦人文：安静的记录与韵律","xe":"02 Telephoto Documentary: Quiet Records and Rhythm"},{"t":"p","x":"年度十佳里同样有不少无人机人文照片。比如 5:29 处这张孟加拉国船工：他们在船上休息。这个场景如果用广角无人机镜头凑近去拍，恐怕要被船工丢石头赶走了；用长焦拍，才不会破坏这份安静（视频 5:29-5:45 处）。画面里这些船形成非常重复的结构，还有圆形的救生圈，色彩既重复又有变化；中间两个人躺在船上——船既是他们工作的地方，也是他们生活的家。非常有意境的一张人文照片。","xe":"The Top 10 also holds plenty of drone documentary work. Take the Bangladeshi boatmen at 5:29, resting on their boats. Shoot this with a wide-angle drone hovering close and you would likely be stoned away; a telephoto leaves the quietness intact (at 5:29-5:45 in the video). The boats form a strongly repeating structure alongside round life rings, their colors repeating yet varying; in the middle, two men lie on a boat that is both their workplace and their home — a deeply evocative documentary frame.","b":false},{"t":"img","f":"v03","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"下一张（视频 6:08 处），一位渔民船工在非常美丽的冬季湖泊里划行，一树霜雪之下小船正从中穿过，风景与人在同一幅画面里呼吸。托马斯做过天空之城评委，看过太多这类冲浪与划行的场景，以前都是广角——人小得几乎看不见；而这张用长焦拍摄，弱化了海浪与整个大海的环境，强化了人物的动感（视频 6:17-6:37 处）。","xe":"The next frame (at 6:08 in the video): a fisherman rows across a beautiful winter lake, his small boat slipping beneath a frost-covered tree — landscape and figure breathing in the same picture. As a former SkyPixel judge, Thomas has seen countless surfing-and-rowing scenes, all shot wide with the human nearly invisible; this one uses a telephoto, playing down the waves and the whole sea while playing up the figure's motion (at 6:17-6:37 in the video).","b":false},{"t":"img","f":"v04","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"最妙的是细节的呼应：你看他手臂的形态和浪的方向是相似的，形成一种和谐的韵律之美；色彩上，人肤色的橙色与背后海水的青色构成壮观的冷暖对比（视频 6:37-6:55 处）。这张《赤膊驰骋在海浪之上》非常有故事感——冲浪不一定非要表现大海的壮阔，人物的韵律同样动人。","xe":"The finest touch is the echo of details: the curve of his arms mirrors the direction of the wave, creating a harmonious rhythmic beauty, while the orange of his skin against the teal sea builds a spectacular warm-cool contrast (at 6:37-6:55 in the video). \"Riding Bareback on the Waves\" is full of story — surfing need not be about the ocean's grandeur; the rhythm of a figure can be just as moving.","b":false},{"t":"img","f":"v05","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"h","x":"03 光影与抽象：慢门、影子与纹理","xe":"03 Light, Shadow and Abstraction: Slow Shutters to Textures"},{"t":"p","x":"为什么托马斯敢预测人文元素会流行？一方面评委里有三位非常资深的杂志编辑，另一方面风光类的无人机广角大片大家确实看得太多了，创新必然往长焦、往人文场景走（视频 6:59-7:28 处）。比如 7:30 处这张：一边是堵车的街道，一边是畅通的路面，作者用慢速快门把车流拉成光轨，呈现出动与静的结合——这是这张照片最出彩的地方。","xe":"Why did Thomas bet on human elements? Partly because three of the judges are veteran magazine editors, and partly because wide-angle drone landscape epics have simply been seen too often — innovation had to move toward telephoto and toward people (at 6:59-7:28 in the video). Take the frame at 7:30: one street jammed with traffic, the other side flowing free, the slow shutter smearing the cars into light trails — a meeting of motion and stillness that is the photo's finest asset.","b":false},{"t":"img","f":"v06","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"7:44 处的作品则既记录了一个故事，又非常抽象、有几何感：在极低的光线里，雪坡上拉出长长的影子，影子形成了人的形态和动作，而本体只是一个小黑点。用影子代替本体讲故事，是无人机航拍的经典手法，这张做得非常独特（视频 7:44-8:07 处）。8:09 处这张则一看透视就知道是长焦拍的——主体显得非常大，与背景的层次感也极佳，这种视角非常吸引人。","xe":"The work at 7:44 records a story yet reads as pure abstraction with geometric flavor: in extremely low light, long shadows stretch across the snowfield, the shadows forming the figures' shapes and gestures while the bodies themselves are tiny black dots. Telling a story through shadows instead of subjects is a classic drone technique, and this example is exceptionally distinct (at 7:44-8:07 in the video). The frame at 8:09, meanwhile, is unmistakably telephoto from its perspective alone — the subject looms large against beautifully layered background tones, a genuinely magnetic way of seeing (at 8:09-8:22 in the video).","b":false},{"t":"img","f":"v07","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"传统题材也有新拍法。8:32 处的鲸鱼跃出水面就非常适合无人机垂直向下抓拍。8:43 处这张冰岛更有意思：大地的纹理像一棵树，树下恰好流过一条河——水是生命之源，意境和抽象感兼得（视频 8:43-8:54 处）。今年风光类的获奖照片整体偏抽象，托马斯认为这更多是一种品味偏好；像 9:05 处那张像眼睛一样的水面，他觉得马马虎虎——虽然很有结构感、很有音符的感觉，但这样的场景他见得比较多了（视频 8:56-9:21 处）。","xe":"Even classic subjects get fresh treatment. The breaching whale at 8:32 is tailor-made for a drone's straight-down capture. The Iceland frame at 8:43 is more interesting still: the terrain's texture resembles a tree, with a river flowing right beneath its canopy — water as the source of life, evocative and abstract at once (at 8:43-8:54 in the video). This year's landscape winners lean abstract overall, which Thomas attributes mostly to taste; the eye-like water at 9:05 he finds so-so — well structured, almost musical, but a scene he has seen rather often (at 8:56-9:21 in the video).","b":false},{"t":"img","f":"v08","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"h","x":"04 提名奖与趋势：用视觉语言讲故事","xe":"04 Nominees and the Trend: Telling Stories Visually"},{"t":"p","x":"接下来的五张提名奖同样非常优秀，而且评选逻辑一以贯之——照片极有故事感，并且是用视觉语言去讲，而不是简单摆个情节（视频 9:22-9:38 处）。比如 9:39 处这张：极简、抽象的体育场馆背景，几个人成为画龙点睛之笔，他们身后还拖着影子——这需要等到一个合适的光线才能完成，视觉效果非常出色。","xe":"The five nominees that follow are equally strong, and the judging logic is consistent — the photos are rich in story, and the story is told visually rather than staged as a plot (at 9:22-9:38 in the video). Take 9:39: a minimalist, abstract stadium backdrop where a few figures land like the finishing stroke of a brush, their shadows stretching behind — something only possible by waiting for the right light. The visual result is outstanding.","b":false},{"t":"p","x":"9:58 处这张同样用了航拍最经典的技术——用影子讲故事：你先看到的是房屋的影子和人的影子，那个人正走在回家的路上。这是只有航拍才能形成的视觉（视频 9:58-10:13 处）。托马斯说这张让他想起爱德华·伯汀斯基的许多经典作品——当年人家要用直升机或大画幅相机才能拍，如今随着无人机的普及，我们每个人都可以去讲述人与环境的故事（视频 10:14-10:29 处）。","xe":"The frame at 9:58 uses aerial photography's most classic trick — storytelling through shadow: you notice the house's shadow and the human shadow first, and the person is simply on the way home. It is a visual only aerial photography can produce (at 9:58-10:13 in the video). Thomas says it recalls Edward Burtynsky's classics — images that once demanded helicopters or large-format gear; now, with drones, any of us can tell the story of people and their environment (at 10:14-10:29 in the video).","b":false},{"t":"img","f":"v09","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"10:31 处这张《Abyss》非常有氛围感和意境：干净的水面，一艘沉船，一个人在旁边浮潜——人、沉船与大海形成三重的大小对比与故事呼应。托马斯说如果由他来评，这张值得一个更好的奖项（视频 10:31-10:55 处）。","xe":"\"Abyss\" at 10:31 is drenched in atmosphere and mood: clean water, a sunken ship, a lone snorkeler drifting beside it — person, wreck and sea forming a threefold contrast in scale and a threefold echo of story. Thomas says that if he were judging, this one deserves a higher award (at 10:31-10:55 in the video).","b":false},{"t":"img","f":"v10","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"10:57 处的《开辟新天地》记录了非常独特的鸟类瞬间——鸟群起飞时踩下的脚印。托马斯还点出一个实用技巧：很多航拍照片会专门等下雪天拍，因为平时地面杂乱，而雪后地面变得非常干净，变成一个舞台，让你的元素成为演员去呈现——这张照片里的演员，就是这些鸟类和它们踩下的脚印，生动又形象（视频 10:57-11:28 处）。","xe":"\"Breaking New Ground\" at 10:57 records a truly unique instant of bird life — the footprints a flock leaves as it takes off. Thomas adds a practical tip: many aerial photographers deliberately wait for snow, because bare ground is messy while snowfall turns it clean — the ground becomes a stage and your elements become the actors. Here the actors are the birds and the prints they press into the snow, vivid and expressive (at 10:57-11:28 in the video).","b":false},{"t":"img","f":"v11","w":852,"h":480},{"t":"p","x":"通过这届大赛，趋势已经很清楚：无人机摄影不只在纯粹的风光大片中占据重要地位，也正在成为人文照片不可或缺的元素（视频 11:30-11:49 处）。人文摄影不只有街头、肖像和环境人像，它也可以是无人机长焦的视角——去拍人和他生存的环境、他们的关系、他们的互动以及所形成的故事。托马斯自己之后也会用无人机长焦创作更多人文与风景结合的作品（视频 11:50-12:23 处）。","xe":"The trend from this contest is clear: drone photography is not only central to pure landscape epics but is becoming indispensable in documentary work (at 11:30-11:49 in the video). Documentary photography is no longer just street scenes, portraits and environmental portraits — it can be the drone-telephoto view: people and the environments they live in, their relationships, interactions and the stories that grow out of them. Thomas himself plans to create more works blending people and landscape with a drone telephoto (at 11:50-12:23 in the video).","b":false},{"t":"quote","x":"1. 长焦对无人机摄影的意义不亚于无人机的诞生：安静的记录、国画式的透视、强化的主体动感，都靠它在空中完成；2. 耐看来自细节与故事——评委反复提到的关键词，值得写进每一次拍摄计划；3. 用视觉语言讲故事：影子代替本体、慢门动静结合、雪地当舞台，都是可以立刻借鉴的手法；4. 人文摄影的新分支已经打开：人和他生存的环境、关系、互动与故事。","xe":"1. The telephoto means as much to drone photography as the drone itself did: quiet observation, Chinese-painting perspective and heightened human motion all depend on it in the air; 2. Rewarding images are built from detail and story — the judges' repeated keyword belongs in every shoot plan; 3. Tell stories with visual language: shadows standing in for subjects, slow shutters mixing motion and stillness, snow as a stage — all techniques you can borrow today; 4.
