I used my K-1 with its battery grip. I used it hand-held all day.

(I also carry a Panasonic Lumix LX100 as a sort of "digital notepad". The running order  blackboard shown in the original post was taken with that camera).

For photos of the vehicles of the Shuttle Collection, I used the D FA* 24-70 f/2.8. (I'll post some of those photos in a day or two).

For photos of aircraft in flight, I used the D FA 150-450, which has been my normal "things in flight" lens for years.

DNG. (I mainly use Sandisk Extreme Pro, either 32Gb or 64Gb).

TAv. I care a lot about the shutter speed and aperture, but I hardly care at all about the ISO.

AF-C Spot. My K-1 is nearly always set to use just the centre AF-point.

"High-speed" (hm!) burst mode, typically used for about 4 shots at a time for aircraft in flight. (I don't used crop-mode, which would increase the burst rate).

All DNGs are imported into Lightroom CC. (I try to reject and delete most of them!)

All photos being posted in this thread have been processed in Photoshop CC. (The main reason was to mitigate panning issues at the slow shutter speeds used to get propeller-blur. I'll post more about this).

(I've probably omitted something important here!)
