To prepare for my upcoming trip to Africa, my friends have been doing market research to help me buy a new camera. I spent every day this week in deep contemplation–comparing the pixels, sensors, and zoom functions of a Canon I spotted in the store, and a Sony I admired last year on safari in East Africa.
But what I hadn’t considered–was the possibility of using a drone or robot to take my photos–like this National Geographic photographer who uses both to take his phenomenal shots. For now, I think I’ll stick with an old-fashioned camera, but it does seem that drone photography–even in the wild–might just be the wave of the future.
