Picture of the Week #377 Sept. 27 - Oct. 5, 2015
Posted By: reeftool, 09-28-2015, 07:38 AM

Welcome to another round of Picture of the Week (POTW). This is edition #376, covering 20 September - 04 October 2015.

POTW is a great spot to show off any shots you take or are editing within the thread's date range. In other words, you can post your shots from this week AND last week.

Some rules:
1) No theme, just post your favorite pix.
2) Six or fewer images per person per thread to prevent thread bloat.
3) Any Pentax or Samsung camera, film or digital.

The current host will invite a new host via Private Message (PM). If possible, the new thread will be linked to the previous one and the new thread will start between Noon EDT and 5PM EDT on Sunday. If the thread doesn't start, please contact bluestringer, Moderator, via PM.

Here are the records of previous POTW threads: 1 Peter Zack, 2 Eaglerapids, 3 rmtagg, 4 Peter Zack, 5 daacon, 6 Bramela, 7 mtnbearhug, 8 dantuyhoa, 9 gawan,10 roentarre, 11 daacon, 12 Kris, 13

I'll start off with what else? Last nights "Super Blood Moon" eclipse. From my backyard in Upstate NY with a K5 and Sigma 150-500.

Rising super full blood moon on it's way to total eclipse.
K-3 & DA* 60-250


The cliche lunar disc shot. I try to avoid these most times but just couldn't help myself.
K-3 & A* 300/4 + Vivitar p/k-a r-p/k 2x tele converter. Tough to focus as the viewfinder was very dark with this combo pointed at a dark moon.
Interestingly to compensate for my f/4 lens reduced to f/5.6 with the TC it was shot as ISO 6400 and LR noise reduction handled it pretty well.


A shot from the first of three locations (including a hike above 10,000 Ft.) we used for engagement photos for this couple.
This is using a Leitz (Leica) Elmarit-R 135/2.8 that I converted to K mount. The client loved these.

Papa, That's a nice series of well done B&W's. A Star Wars convention? Looks like a fun crowd.
Wolfeye, that's a nice closeup.
Nice series, Matt. I really like the first shot with the moon rising over the mtns. I think we're all expected to get at least one decent lunar disc shot. That's the classic blood moon shot everybody seem to associate with an eclipse these days. The engagement shot is beautiful. They should be very happy with that one.

Drama in the Skies!

We had an amazing electrical storm a few nights ago, and I managed to capture this lightning strike over the Indian Ocean, Durban.

Thanks for hosting Richard, and amazing array of quality so far.

A few from Saturday in the Clarksville, Tennessee countryside, unfortunately, the sky was a gloomy, uniform, dismal, light gray with a occasional darker streak

Thanks for hosting Reeftool. wonderful stuff around this week, particularly like the "red moons". Don't see anything quie like that in the southern hemisphere.
Have'nt taken much last week, busy busy week. Got some on Saturday, and yesterday, still PP'ing.
Drive past these cars on a daily basis, and thought I stop by on Saturday. They are under a huge red gazebo umbrella, and that rendered them in rather odd colors, so B/W the best option




And a rose from yesterday

Stephen, I always love your train shots. Well done! I like the carousel shots too.
Hattiifnatt, those landscapes are simply stunning!
Tom, nice series of shots. I like the old barn and that B&W of the old shack is a really great shot.
Neville, that lightning shot is a real stunner! I have never been successful at getting a shot like that.
Jehu, nicely done with the protest.
K David, nice job with the candid portrait shots, the last one especially. Caught at just the right moment!
Noel, nice shot of the rose and the cars are awesome. The B&W treatment works well with the old cars.

It's a couple of days past the original date of this weeks thread so I'll start a new one this evening. Thanks to everyone who contributed.
