Forgot to mention that I use Chrome or Firefox - never IE.

Alan - some absolute crackers there! Nos. 1, 4 & 5 stand out for me.

Not for me - although I get endless Windows 10 upgrade demands no matter pages I'm on. I've never had a 'pop-up' on this forum.

Judging on your images - definitely a 'Pro'!; and not forgetting your brilliant captions.

I think that your choice of treatment has given it a real 'other worldly' look. IMHO it doesn't work as a natural history shot, but as an image I think it's great.

Given the constraints that you were working under, that's one hell of a result. Hope you're more mobile soon.

I won't be going for it - there's no way I can justify it. I am more than happy with my K-5iis, and the only real problem I get is because of my shortcomings - not the cameras. I'd rather spend the money on (gradually) getting better glass.
I went into SRS the other day to buy a new lens, the Tamron 70-200 F2.8, and resisted the temptation to even look at the K-1, because as you all know - "never say never!"

At the end of last year I was involved with a drone shoot being done to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Ford GT40 1,2,3 at the Le Mans 24 hour race in 1966. The drone team were incredibly professional and did an amazing job. However, they were really concerned about the number of complete idiots who buy drones of all sizes and fly them with no consideration of anyone else but themselves, and who are completely unaware and/or don't care about the laws/guidance surrounding their use. They were worried that professional and responsible operators will get 'tarred with the same brush' as the selfish idiots, and that regulations will be brought in that will materially affect their business.
The manufactures and retailers of these things should take some responsibility, and ensure that they are only supplied with proper guidance and and 'No-Fly Zone' installed.
