I know exactly how he feels. My large un-tamed tropical garden is 
presenting many challenges. I will be trying to remain positive by 
treating it as a giant outdoor gym. At 2-3 hours a day including a 
Bakkie trip to the rubbish dump I should get it tamed by winter. I used 
to have some help but they have become too expensive & troublesome. 
Fortunately that still leaves time for some photography!

They're not all of that caliber.

The club has a quarterly print competition where you can submit two B
prints and two color prints. Usually some well known local photographer
is invited to be the judge.

It's fun to watch them go through the prints to see at what point the
"judge" finally realize they can't give every entry a '9' (out of 10
possible).

Since the prints are not randomized before displaying them to the
"judge", it's best to get to the meeting early when there's a print
competition, so yours can be in the first dozen or so shown.

He probably asked.



He did acknowledge the general FAA regulation that drones cannot be
operated beyond line of sight of the operator, but I couldn't determine
if that acknowledgement included a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" or not.

My reservations regarding drones is entirely concerning irresponsible
operators. There have already been instances where careless operators
have injured bystanders on the ground. Luckily, no fatalities.


Without wanting to get political, you have a bigger worry with firearms 
in your country. Worry about real problems.



But, I think it's only a matter of time before some idiot flies one
into the path of a commercial aircraft & causes a crash.


This is hysteria at it's finest. A goose getting sucked into an engine 
will do more damage than a drone, even an S1000 series.

This can be said of many things, both benign and dangerous.

There are no wild Bald Eagles in Europe. It had to come from the U.S.,

 Great photography club, where you get this level of speaker.

 I like the photos provided by drones, but regret not buying some months
 ago.
 Due to the idiots which seem to use 90% of them locally, I'm expecting a
 ban
 or strict restrictions to be imposed very soon on drone usage. All this
 could have been sorted at point of sale, with dealers not selling to
 people
 too stupid to use them safely. Having said that, I wouldn't have missed
 for
 the world the reaction from the twerp who ditched his in a reservoir,
 which
 I had the pleasure of watching late last year.

In my experience, people who are too reckless or stupid to use technology 
responsibly are always ingenious in finding ways to acquire said tech. So to 
safeguard our freedom from these people, we must give up our freedom to use it 
responsibly. Shit happens. ;-)

Great photography club, where you get this level of speaker.

I like the photos provided by drones, but regret not buying some months ago.
Due to the idiots which seem to use 90% of them locally, I'm expecting a ban
or strict restrictions to be imposed very soon on drone usage. All this
could have been sorted at point of sale, with dealers not selling to people
too stupid to use them safely. Having said that, I wouldn't have missed for
the world the reaction from the twerp who ditched his in a reservoir, which
I had the pleasure of watching late last year.

I don't think so. His photography is nowhere near that bad.

Good comparison. A quotation from the 2013 PDML book seems apropos: 

If you're buying it to match the sofa it's not art, it's decoration.
 Louise Reilly Sacco, The Museum of Bad Art

Lik's photographs, like Kinkade's paintings, are purchased because
they match the sofa.

The worst I recall responding to some year ago, was a hotel builder's request 
for someone to shoot his just completed sizable hotel. He specified I give him 
shots of room examples, meeting room, pool and front desk area as well as 
exterior views.
When he asked how much I would charge, I named a figure that would justify 
several hours shooting.
His response was; What, a roll of film only costs a few dollars.
