"Morning Catch" Photo: Nguyen Ngoc Thien

Winning the second prize of drone category is “Catching fish in the morning” of photographer Nguyen Ngoc Thien (HCMC) capturing a fishing boat pulling nets during the anchovy fishing season at Tuy Hoa, Phu Yen. His other work, “The dancing of the nets” taken in Hon Yen, Phu Yen, is one of top 100 best drone photos.

From May to August every year, Phu Yen will be crowded and bustling with boats in the fishing season. The “dance” of the vast nets floats in water, drifting into a multitude of shapes. Surely, an interesting subject for a photographer to explore.

“Sunset on Ban Gioc Waterfall” Photo: Vu Phi Long

In top 100 best drone photos, there is 21 works of 14 Vietnamese photographers, showing the diverse beauty of landscapes, villages and humans all over the country, in which “Sunset on Ban Gioc Waterfall” of photographer Vu Phi Long (Son La) impresses a lot of people.

Ban Gioc Waterfall is one of Vietnam’s most impressive natural sights. Located in the northeastern province of Cao Bang, the falls are 30 metres high and 300 metres across, making Ban Gioc the widest (but not the highest) waterfall in the country.

“Golden rice season” of photographer Vu Ngoc Tuan (Hanoi) captures the winding, gorgeous rice terraces in Mu Cang Chai, Yen Bai. His other work, “Flower nets” with a fishing boat casting nest off Phu Yen Province coast is one of top 100 drone photos. Photo: Vu Ngoc Tuan

Photographer Nguyen Tan Tuan (HCMC) with his work "Patching nets" taken at Hon Ro Port, Phuoc Dong Commune, about 7km from Nha Trang City (Khanh Hoa).

The anchovy season is between the second and eighth lunar months (March-September on the Gregorian calendar this year). If you visit the port early in the morning, you can see fishermen throwing nets to catch fish near shore.

Once the boat is anchored, the fishermen hang the net now with many anchovies after their fishing mission on the side of the embankment of a dam. They proceed to use a long stick with plastic foam attached on one end and repeatedly hit the net so that the anchovy slide down the net placed underneath.
