Jeff, your images are getting better. Do you do any post work? What are you flying right now? That second one - the curve horizon bothers me. Lens correction would probably help.
And yeah, I think the score is 3-zip, Space Needle. Go Space Needle!

A Washington, D.C. court ruled Friday that the FAA drone registration rule violates the FAA Modernization and Reform Act, which Congress passed in 2012.
Hobbyist John Taylor argued successfully that he should not have to register because the act states that the FAA "may not promulgate any rule or regulation regarding a model aircraft."
The limit for unregistered drones is now 55 pounds.

Really a pretty clean cut case here. Can't thank John enough for his effort, This case might snowball some issues the FAA is having (issues they created). Mostly this case means nothing in and of itself. From my vantage there's a sh#t-storm that's about to erupt. Said sh#t-storm means nothing to the general public.
That said I did some filming yesterday with my un-registered and now not required registered UAS.

So we should be allowed to shoot down any drones under 55lbs??? we were looking for a spot to get cleaned up in the river on sunday. There was a guy in the parking lot flying a drone and filming his GF rideing a bicycle up and down the road. we hiked arround the corner to find a bit of privacy in the river. Took a quick dip and while doing the rubdown with the towel the drone buzzes over to us and hovers about 50ft above us. after about 20sec I gave it the finger and it flew away. Guy was gone when we went back to the car just min later. he absolutly was spying on us and saw me give his camera the finger.....

Drones are here to stay. A Chinese entrepreneur who lost one friend in a small plane accident and another in a helicopter crash, has vowed to make a passenger drone that will be really safe.
I can see drones being very helpful in locating a missing hiker, for example. Eventually, you can do away with climbing equipment by having a an advanced drone that can hover in the air and belay you. Imagine a device hovering about six feet away from the rock with several feet of slack. And if you yell, "Falling" it goes into a "catch fall" mode. In a few more years, this will be feasible. Even more advanced drones could assist with technical rescues. We'd still need YOSAR for the dicey stuff, but they could be a tool.

Drone racing? I should've seen this coming....
Next- these soft, nocturnal fellows will be the tip of the spear on future battlefields.
In the rear, will be platoons of hackers firing off volleys of anti aircraft malware.
Imagine the the retribution these formerly abused outcasts will reap on protesters during civil unrest.
I'll think twice before I come down on my son for playing video games.
