Photo of the Week #119 June 20 - July 4
Posted By: ruggiex, 06-27-2010, 07:45 AM

Welcome to 119th edition of the Pentax Forum's Picture of the Week! This edition covers photos taken between June 20 and July 4, 2010.

Thanks to Clou for hosting last week. First time hosting so let me know if something isn't right.

POTW is a great place to show what you're shooting day-to-day with your Pentax cameras. It gives us all a chance to virtually visit with one another, to get a glimpse of what it's like where others live and where they've been, and to extend the same invitation to others to share what we've been seeing.

The best pictures can only be taken with the camera you are carrying with you, so have you camera with you and keep always an eye on the things which are and happen around you.



Again same rules as before:

1) No theme, just post your favourite pix.

2) Let's keep it to under 6 images per post just so the thread doesn't get too big each week.

3) Any Pentax camera or Samsung SLR is fine, whether it's film, P&S, or DSLR.

4) Date: Sunday 20 June 2010 to Sunday 4 July 2010. Enter anything you shot last week or during this current week until the thread closes. Old shots with a new look from post-processing during the open time period are also welcome.

5) The current host will appoint the new host as an invitation via 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 Peter Zack, Moderator via PM.


Ready? Great! Shoot and post!

Great start to the week. Robin's excellent feather on the rocks is oddly reminiscent of one I took this weekend as I am getting accustomed to my new lens.

I got out some this morning and found a nice bird on the branch of my tree.
I love cardinals! I think some NR would clean that up nicely.

Yours is nicer. I had too shallow a DOF to get all mine in focus. I'll try again!

Thanks, Tamia! I try and would like to chalk it up to skill but that shot was luck. Really should have used the tripod.

I like that last shot, reminds me a lot of my crazy lights pictures but it looks far less dangerous to achieve. None taken in the frame of the POTW thread so I'll just post the set link.

Some Crazy Lights - a set on Flickr

I thought it came out very well, especially considering it is hand-held.

Thanks WRT Current Trace. I love the sketchy bright white lines depicting the wave/current highlights. I thought of your Crazy Lights when I was processing my picture, remembering one you entered in a P52 and won. Those Crazy Lights are SO fascinating, compelling!

casil403, that yellow rose is cool. Looks like smoke coming from it the way you did that. Nicely done.
