In previous articles, John Watkinson argued that the concept of static resolution has been shown not to be a useful metric for moving pictures. In short, pretending that some quality of a still image tells anything about motion is absurd, and leads to flawed ideas like high line or pixel counts that don’t actually achieve anything.
When it comes to capturing aerial shots, nothing can beat a drone flown by an experienced pilot working along side a good photographer. Newbies to the technology benefit from learning by those already up-to-speed. Read on.

The latest, most popular emerging RF systems are unlicensed and operate in extremely high frequency (EHF) public Wi-Fi bands. The key word is public. How does a broadcaster find privacy on a public band?
In the previous article lenses, the concept of the optic flow axis was introduced. This is the all-important fourth dimension of moving pictures because the human eye is capable of following, or tracking, motion. Let us look closer at how optic flow affects key aspects of imagery.
