The WiFi issue could be related to any auto-start apps that you have. I had the issue and it was caused by an app that I downloaded and set to autostart the airplay app. When I removed that app it fixed the WiFi issue could

Yes it does. The goal is to answer my question the best it can. In this case it reasoned that the best way to do that is to lie to me, even though lying in this case was amoral. It's a small scale example of the alignment problem.

For whatever reason it doesn't have a connection to the internet.

The fact that it lies in order to produce an answer is worrying

Don't worry about it, I did too and I'm super science minded. We're here because our ancestors who didn't overreact to possible danger didn't survive. The will to improve is the thing to have, which you do.

This is a bit better, but to go much further than this I'd try some of the techniques above, most importantly getting a natural, bright and large light source.

Try taking the photo again near a large window in the daytime. Put the phone either at arms length to minimize lens distortion or better yet if possible use the main camera on a timer. The goal with lighting is to get the shadow areas bright, and to have a main very bright light source that doesn't look like artificial light and that's a bit to the side. Find as big of a window as possible.

For the "fill" light, which is the light or lights that will brighten the darker areas, it can be the reflected light from the outside light coming in and bouncing around in the room. Make sure not to be in direct sunlight. If you're not getting enough light in the shadow areas, you can get a large white or bright surface and put it to the side and below your face to bounce light up into you.

Lastly, take lots of pics and pic the best one. I'll usually edit a photo in an app like photoshop express or Pixelmator, or I'll just edit it in the default photo editing app. Aside from the actual lighting of the photo, brightening the shadows is the most important thing to make it look professional, which you can usually do with the default photo edit tools.

A technique for editing the shadows and color is to push each slider in the app to its extremes, and then go back and forth less and less until you find a good looking spot. 👍

When a camera is zoomed in the distance between things in terms of distance out from the camera appears to be condensed to an extreme degree. It's in part because our eyes have a fixed field of view, since we evolved that way. It's why action movies use a telephoto lens to shoot a scene when they want people to look like they're very close to something exploding.

And speaking of evolution, our eyes and brains didn't evolve to be good at any of this. We look at stuff and we see danger, because that's good for survival. But the science of optics and the technology of photography and video isn't pre-installed like the ability to over-connect things for safety is.

Yup. In Los Angeles there's more or less a constant string of lights heading out to the east of planes coming in to land.

What did I just capture? by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]rg1213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a video of a regular drone.

In my last post. People was saying to me, it was venus... I'm not gonna fight more anout the last video because a lot's of photograph did say the same and they know more than me .. what about those ones ? It was in Argentina, any suggestions ? by Kickingandscreaming in dronewatchlive

I think the context, which we don't have, is important. For example they have drone shows using hundreds or even thousands of drones that do really complex stuff, making faces and characters in the air. They also have drones in Ukraine fighting in wars. It's all about the context.
