"I accidentally permanently deleted 5k photos on my iPad: And I know they won't get overwritten unless I download more photos. How can I recover the lost photos? I was about to save them to an external hard drive before I deleted them."

Troubleshooting Lost Photos:
This is something you would have agreed to upon account creation. So, if the following does not work, then they are gone. That's just the way it is.
Three Tactics to Try:
A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support
B. Use a Time Machine Backup:
Did you backup your Mac, recently? If so, then restore your Mac from that. You'd backup you Mac prior to doing so, and then restore your data from the backup you just created, through use of Migration Assistant.
C. Where Else to Check:
- PC
- PDA
- eMail
- Mac Device
- Cloud Storage
- Android Phone
- USB Flash Drive
- External Hard drive
- Secure Digital Card
- Compact Flash Card
