John - I take on board your very valid point about having to pass muster to gain those qualifications, however I can buy a diploma online for just about any qualification, thus I could pretend to have taught Prof. Stephen Hawking everything he knows because I have a piece of paper to prove it. It then comes back to the ability to prove you are indeed qualified, thus I'd be more likely to ask yourself to take (for example) baby photos, christening photos, etc since I "know" you through this forum, rather than taking some FRPS guy on trust.

It can be a positive thing, so I wouldn't be at all dismissive of someone who wants to make the, sometimes considerable, effort.

I would buy while the going is good. After the offer, it will just cost more again.

However, if we have ever used manual focus lenses maybe we can look to our archives as there is no time limit on when the images were shot.

The only thing I'm not so happy with is the tonal quality and colour of the greens. They have that over-bright digital look that suggests they were over exposed as sensors do not handle over-exposure of the green very well.
Perhaps pulling back the contrast a little would do the trick?

I think my plan will be to stay indoors until it's all over....

It seems to be be a fair and straightforward appraisal and shows the camera performs very well.

30 second exposures take a lot of energy, as does using the screen all the time, so that's the reason.
