Very true. Authoritarian ticks is something we must fight, obviously. Indifference, no less. Without it, the mess we factually need to live with.

Many, must confess. Here are (only) a couple of suggestions: What about you?

@iamoui I understand your position, I don't like the State either to rule my world without mention all the usual stuff about individual freedom and the customary yadda yadda... Just a way to represent all of us. Is it in the U.S.? OK, I am American citizen for the subject matter then : ) Some other point turns out to be present as well: What society is this one where indifference on such, like human life, coexists at the same time as we all just attend this whole damned circus on TV?? Are you happy with the show? (On TV, Internet, etc) I am not.

Let alone this: All this could be trivial if a life wouldn't be lost... In a very useless purpose indeed. Actually the main reason why I am here. I can't be indifferent, I am not, I won't, I will never be. If this is to be politically motivated, so be it. @Grimor Not La Coruña (a bit strange... it would be too far away from Barcelos anyway), but nearby A Cañiza, somewhere between Pontevedra and (closer to) Ourense, the same Galicia obviously : -)

You're repeating yourself ad nauseam and only giving a self-pity-portrait of your own, I'm sorry to see. I've added my reply to such question not coincidentally in the first post of this page without mention my other answers to follow. PS: If I extended one single paragraph or a couple of it somehow edited then in the next hour forum software settings conceded to us by Andrew and you didn't read for any reason, I invite you to scroll up this same page and read, very simple task : -)

I didn't say that! If you'll read carefully my post or stop to do such little game you're showing off, you'd fairly realize I have no fault you think pictures is all about the gear you're using. It's written there in my posting. Go and read again. Waste of time is to read your ad hominem posts here. It is what it is.

WTH I've already answered you above-posted: I even quoted myself my 1st post where it is very clear what I think about many silly people we can find everywhere! There's no a single reason for something. The world is not B&W if that's what you insist to see. If you want to believe I have a political motivation against U.S. I won't call you stupid only to not insult you. But if you think you can read my thoughts, what else can I write to you? : -)

Galicia, La Coruña. Saludos de Carnaval para ti : ) 'Living out his dream' is almost as criminal and silly as his attempts. This doesn't mean the story of this is contained in a single link posted anywhere. Want know more about anything, google is your friend : ) BTW there's no flat-earth theory. Such theory doesn't exist today in this century. Didn't you read that part of my posting as well? ; -)

What do you know about what I know or don't know? C'mon... No rocket science here, literally... LOL ; ) it's just to read the news. Politically motivated? It's completely nonsense what you're just writing. No, there's no political motivation at all from my part. I only find all this story an absolute misfortune. Painful to see. That's all. First off if you haven't noticed yet, I am one of the oldest members here. This is one of my fav places I choose to discuss daily life with other fellows in this Andrew's home. People trade messages on private, there are connections beyond the curtains and so on, you know? This is merely our public window. On the other hand, the guy wanted to photograph the earth to prove his idea. This has everything about the main scope of this forum, no more no less. As fair conclusion though, pictures are not only made of gear and talking around for geeks. The way news, marketing, media exposure, innovation are made and are mirror of our time, even the society itself or what it is political motivation realm, once you mention it, make them... Our contemporary counterpart. It is impossible to dissociate the pictures or how we living them from there. Count on it ; -)

In fact. And let's not confound this with Franky Zapata please. Not strictly because one succeeded, the other doesn't. One had a noble purpose -- yes, that matters, makes the whole difference. The other one, unfortunately, pure madness. Yes, in a word: science. Pops up mind, head, in short, something with brains. That's why is different, not exactly because of the results per se. We usually call it achievement from a paradigm made with sense of proportion (again: reason, rationality, purpose), where and when there's such thing to justify the risk. The craziness is not on the fearless-guts but the whole world around. The method or its lack. Because requires grounds. As someone commented here: "He died of stupidity rather than genuine rocket research." A suicide mission as someone else also wrote. A stupid one as it's easy to infer. That's not news.

I think you're closer to actually nail it on the spot, I concur. This is invariably sad in a way or another. I feel sorry for him and such attitude, no less seeing it happen. Humans deserve much more than that meager result, oh well, what a petty scope and little ways this story has ended.

Exactly. And there are rules to make us comply. Whether we like or not. Science... the same which says flat earth is not a theory but mere nonsense. Or lack of a few things.

Indeed. The business to back this nonsense to begin with. This seems too stupid to be true...

Probably just ignorant or too naive as some other alternatives or excuses, isn't it? ; ) No, read again my post... "I mean US, but could be anywhere else." I think I left it clear, no? Of course, there are silly people everywhere WTH. Evel Knievel never scheduled a stupid agenda to justify his entertainment business AFAIK. Horses for courses. I think and do defend authorities should play a role on certain cases. Insanity can be dangerous as much as flying drones or rockets for that matter. No idea how people stare to attend such sad show. First question to come to my mind: are we talking about a licensed or allowed activity to begin with? To launch rockets to the space like we all live in somewhere more than 100 years ago? Last time I checked we are in 2020... ; -) Shame on everyone who let this happen.

Insanity is a severe mental disorder and State should be responsible for, in order to provide efficient assistance. Your freedom of thinking is harmless until the day it can hurt. I don't like to use safety belt in my car, as well I find too boring any rules, those about drones included. But, sense of community and rationality -- the reason, means to respect them. This comprehends to respect the others. Your freedom CANNOT prevail over the freedom of other people or the rights and civilized principles such as caring of patients with mental problems, even if apparently healthy because Psychiatry is a truly complex medical specialty. Let alone the whole invisible world behind. Respect common sense is an obligation of yours to see your right of free thinking to be respected as well. We're not living in the Germany of 30s. This applies for both ends. Got it? E : -) PS: Not only the State but also the sponsors are responsible for this tragedy. They created such a circus in this crazy world of profit where we all live in. A shame, a crime without punishment too. I do care about the world around me. It invariably concerns me. Or I just am an(other) accomplice. http://balua.org/mission-take-the-rooster-of-barcelos-into-near-space-by-marco-neiva/ Disclaimer: This is a project that was financed by a friend and business partner of mine, also stereographer (has worked with Peter Greenaway BTW IMDb LINK), no one had to be killed or was harmed (rooster included) to collaterally photograph and show the spherical reality as it is...

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mad-mike-hughes-daredevil-and-flat-earth-theorist-killed-in-rocket-crash-2020-02-22/ How's this possible in the XXI century? Isn't there a limit for freedom of thinking? Flat earth theorist !?? Are they kidding me? Aren't there mental health authorities in US? I mean US, but could be anywhere else. Seems pretty clear to me, there's a border between common sense vs (plain/full) insanity. Why not to simply forbid this kind of acrobatics? Last time I heard there are rules for drones to fly... IMHO society (that is, all of us) represented by the State is responsible for such loss.

Or you put it in flight mode. Silent mode can yet compromise it from any radio interference anyway.

Good point, reason why a softer glass system if so or smoother 108MP results are really not so bad in the end... And that smearing is either or both processing and auto modes, very likely. Going manual or a 2nd shot as already said up there would probably lead to a different outcome ; ) Just a single sample says too little. A few others with the same devices will show up rather the opposite more often than you would guess. Count on it : -)

No idea if you're used to shoot with AI, I am : ) You can try a few shots, all will show to you different results in the end. That proves zero on the device properties : -) Don't put much expectation on Samsung unless you end to reduce it with some other tool like this one this thread's topic. Dennis @deezid as usual has nailed the whole thing. I'm sorry the others, but this user actually tops the average : -)

I've been struggling to have GLS to deliver a simple shipment from a supplier. They're basically becoming silent to not properly enter in touch with the consignee to handle the delivery as due. The seller worried about that has tried to obviously help to make it work, send me a link, I've fulfilled the blanks with an abbrev. version of the shipping address because seems the complete form doesn't match google maps tyranny over our lives and territorial organization structure of a country (Portugal) with the same borders for eight centuries now. I've only received silence from them so far (nothing about the seller, of course, 5-star instead let's be fair). Is this normal? Should we who pay the service accept this as natural and regular standard? So we pay and end to partially do the work of the service already paid by us in advance? Anyone out there with similar experiences to tell? PS: Time is money BTW ; -)

While we wait for March (news to follow up this update here), still from the previous model:

Still the best tiny capture device today in early 2020...
