With the invention of cameras many things have changed. People no longer her to rely on a good memory and people's descriptions or pay for an expensive artist to capture things in paintings. Now with toys and machines and technology getting smaller and smaller someone has taken two great ideas to make an innovative machine. Someone saw the potential of adding a small camera to a remote control flying machine. Since the first time it was done someone else has decided to create machines specifically designed to fly around and capture photos and videos. These drones have been used in many ways such as flying over combat zones before sending in troops or flying over forest fires to look for people. With this great idea now people can capture new angles on photographs that were never before possible without the assistance of helicopters or airplanes.
