Why should I when there are those like Brett8883 who can do it so much better than I can? I see forums like this as maintaining their educational integrity only when the personal reactions and hyperbole are kept to a minimum. Brett8883 has done that repeatedly despite the veiled attacks...

This is the problem Meta4. Remarks like yours above are equal only to your other OPINION that his (my, and all others reading this) eyes should tell him everything you need to know. Perhaps I should have waxed philosophical with my favorite maxim from grade school instead. It starts: Opinions...

Perhaps since there is so much fixation on the facts it may be wise to wax philosophic. Consider this: The argumentative defense of any proposition is inversely proportional to the truth contained.

Thank you Brett8883 for sticking to the facts on this discussion and not slipping into personal reactions or hyperbole with respect to your opinions. You would make a good and patient photography teacher if you are not one already.

What, no libertarian voices in the group? It's one thing to over-regulate and another thing entirely to soak us for it. Here is an old image related to the US tax code from 2011. It never gets smaller and taxes only go down when you die.

Thanks Harro, I recognize and appreciate the feedback. I have learned some good photography lessons on this site since posting that video. Unfortunately I have not reloaded that video to YouTube after learning about white balance. It was still an epic flight as one of those monster waves...

Well done Boston_Camera! Bringing attention to complex social issues is a valuable contribution. Anyone who has ever attempted to make a production as complex as what you have presented here knows how much work goes into it.

I have lived here for 10 years and there is some spectacular costal areas to film up in North Kohala. Pololu Valley is a must! I was even able to obtain permission to fly within 1/4 mile of a rarely used airport (Upolu) on the North end of the island to film a big wave event. Here is a link...

Aloha Pilot-Photographers: I am wondering if anyone has experience using Active Track on a non-level plane of view. This morning I went to an awesome place here in Hawaii (see photos) that involves a steep decent into a valley. I wanted to place the drone out over the cliff and track the...

Again, with all due respect, I feel good about myself regardless of this forum or any other. My experience has taught me that genuine self worth is born from a deep understanding of meanings that foster values most of us would agree are worthy. For example: being a loving and kind father...

Wow, thank you Brojon for teaching me a new word. My question for you is what shall we do as a society other than establish rules and advocate for the righteous observance of them in the face of contrary behavior? Additionally, my take on your George Orwell footer quote seems to indicate that...

As my mother would always say to my sister and I as we battled in the back seat on those long car rides: "An argument requires at least two people, so if just one of you will cease we can return to peace. Being right is not nearly as valuable as being liked."

Thank you. I'll be there in a few months.

utopian u·to·pi·an /yo͞oˈtōpēən/ 1. modeled on or aiming for a state in which everything is perfect; idealistic. (emphasis mine). Also, the second and more powerful half of Alexander Pope's quote is: "To forgive is divine." So, please let us all make mistakes as we humans are prone to...

I am new to flying and this forum, but one thing seems quite obvious to me in my few short weeks here. Pilots not only need to have extensive knowlege, they also need wisdom and humility. It is truly a privilege to fly unmanned aircraft in the public space and that privilege WILL BE curtailed...
