Photographer Russell Coleman is setting up a course in Cumbria, England. He said: 'There is a lot of interest in the use of drones in film making and photography and we hope to be able to educate people as to what is involved and the license required to operate commercially. Interest in the use of drones is on the increase and the course is aimed to educate those interested in understanding the steps involved to become a registered CAA [Civil Aviation Authority] license holder.'

Reporting on the course, In-Cumbria declared 2015 'the year of the drone'. GIving examples of growing usage, the site says: 'The Irish fire service is researching the use of the remote-controlled craft, whilst US Soldiers could soon get personal drones called Black Hornets, small enough to fit in the palm of their hand. More glamorously, chart topper Enrique Iglesias injured his hand trying to catch one he had film a live show this year.'
