Droning on

Sitting in the sun yesterday, wearing underwear and reading

Listening to the drone of lawnmowers and whipper-snippers, when I looked up and realised there was also the drone of a drone hovering over the neighbour's yard and panning around.

If I had a bottle, I might've recreated this shot but I wasn't going to throw my book.

When I studied TV production I realised that the role of a camera is to privilege the viewer. 

Now there are so many more cameras around, it seems that privilege has grown too. 

The thing that shits me is it is privileged and the person fixated on the view doesn't have to deal with whine. 

All the amazing drone videos I've seen use a soundtrack or post-production audio, whereas real life is living with the dentist drill-like drone of a drone.
