Me too!. Also like the last squirrel shot looking up at the camera!

And the last two fountain shots - the first is simple and you have 'stopped' the water well. The second - again frozen in time, yet chaotic in a good way showing the random nature of the spray set against a dark background. Great stuff!

A very interesting article from Imaging Resource on this from Ricoh/ Pentax - along with some other interesting things like lens coatings and other 'clarity' functions etc

I, too have been there and done that! Fortunately I realised what the problem was straight away and was able to re-take the image with a covered viewfinder!

You could be right - but on further thought I guess the Q has a an electronic shutter which could also smooth out inconsistencies, whereas with the DSLRs and a mechanical shutter that although the shutter time might be set to a fixed, say 1/100th sec, the actual timing varies from shot to shot because of mechanical tolerances or something like that!

Interestingly, not too bad on the frame to frame flicker that happens with timelapse.

More congrats from me. An excellent set of images - well done, and hope you get the 'F' nailed as well!

Thanks for sharing Bjørn - pretty amazing. No 2 is my fav followed by no 4 and 5. The size/ spread across the landscape/ sea I shown off so well in that last one

Some years ago we had a break-in and quite a bit of photo gear was taken with out of production items stolen. My home insurance covered it with a new for old. They basically paid me the money to buy the stuff myself. I gave them valuations where I could of what a new equivalent would be (so eg my Z1-P film camera was stolen. In its day top of the line model. At the time the K20D was top of the line, so they paid for that). I basically gave them Jessops web-site prices with a link to it.

We also had an old Chinon film SLR that was stolen, and Chinon no longer made and put down the K200D for that (even though it had been a top of the line model as well in its day - I didn't feel right about putting that down as another K20D!). Initially I tried to reason with the insurance company about it, to discuss what would be fair (ie, say £100 for such an item), but they didn't seem to be able to cope with that and just wanted to know about new for old a that is what the policy was.

For those items that were irreplaceable - as John says let a supplier help with suggestions so it comes out fair.

Had a quick foray up to Ditchling Beacon (South Downs) at about 9:45pm. Stars were visible but also some misty cloud. Sadly didn't see anything in the way of the lights - but thanks for the tip-off Gwyn!

For what its worth, I think I would have got closer and framed it so there was hardly any sky in the shot. The brightness of the sky pulls the eye away from the moss and wood textures. As others have said, these are difficult subjects to nail!
