Photo of the Week #125, August 1 - August 15, 2010
Posted By: woof, 08-08-2010, 02:27 PM

Welcome to the 125th edition of the Pentax Forum's Picture of the Week!
This edition covers photos taken between August 1 and August 15, 2010, or shots from last week you haven't processed until now.

Thanks to casil403 for hosting last week and thanks for choosing me as the host.

POTW is a great place to show what you're shooting day-to-day with your cameras. It gives us all a chance to see what other members are up to with their Pentax cameras in their parts of the world in which they live or have visited. We can share ideas and hopefully learn from one another which is great too!

So show us what you've seen in your little corner of the planet! I look forward to seeing all of what's out there this week.

Again same rules as before:

1) No theme, just post your favorite 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 August 1 to Sunday August 15 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.

Previous hosts: Each one is a hotlink to that POTW thread to look past at the previous 117 weeks. 1 Peter Zack, 2Eaglerapids 3 rmtagg, 4 Peter Zack, 5 daacon, 6 Bramela, 7 mtnbearhug, 8 dantuyhoa, 9 gawan,10 roentarre, 11 daacon, 12 Kris, 13 mtnbearhug, 14 SCGushue, 15 daacon, 16 maxwell1295, 17 dantuyhoa, 18 daacon, 19 maxwell1295 19(2) daacon, 20 Bramela, 21 Syb, 22 maxwell1295, 23 maxwell1295, 24 dantuyhoa, 25 Gawan, 26 Peter Zack, 27 borno, 28 daacon, 29 gawan, 30 Damn Brit, 31 maxwell1295 32 maxwell1295 , 33 dantuyhoa, 34 daacon, 35 Peter Zack, 36 Damn Brit, 37 Borno, 38 Kevint, 39 Peter Zack, 40 Timbo13, 41 daacon, 42 daacon, 43 gawan, 44 dantuyhoa, 45 daacon, 46 Rense, 47 daacon, 48 Rense, 49 borno, 50 Rense, 51 daacon, 52 Peter Zack, 53 Peter Zack, 54 dadipentax, 55 David Whiteley, 56 planedriver, 57 daacon,58 Bramela, 59 daacon, 60 gawan, 61 virgilr, 62 daacon, 63 RickL, 64 Peter Zack, 65 Peter Zack, 66 Causey 67 daacon, 68 Bramela, 69 georgeweb, 70 daacon, 71 seacapt, 72 daacon, 73 AOski, 74 Rense 75 eccs19, 76 daacon, 77 xs400, 78 daacon, 79 Bramela, 80 borno, 81 legacyb4, 82 daacon, 83 gawan, 84 Rense, 85 Peter Zack, 86 davef, 87 davef, 88 xjjohnno 89 Bramela , 90 Peter Zack, 91 daacon, 92 stevebrot ,93 reeftool, 94 jezza323, 95 oldschool, 96 Iris, 97 Rense, 98 planedriver, 99 xs400, 100 Peter Zack, 101 Netuser 102 Photolady, 103 Tamia, 104 Irishwhite, 105 Ramseybuckeye, 106 xjjohnno, 107 Bumbibop, 108 JeffJS, 109 Tpeace, 110 Nomad, 111 Photolady, 112 rparmar, 113 Peter Zack, 114 casil403, 115 Tamia 116 JeffJS, 117 bbluesman, 118 Clou, 119 ruggiex, 120 Jimbow007, 121 jmschrie, 122 VaughnA 123 pop4, 124 casil403, 125 woof

reeftool - I LOVE that fly shot !

Mark - looks like a scorcher for sure.

I got off my lazy butt last night for a quick bike ride. There was some lightening , but of course never capture it. A few from last night.

Sunrises Anyone?

I managed to get up for a couple sunrises during vacation. Some interesting pastels one day due to low misty clouds. Enjoy.

How fun! The county fair has been running all this week just a few miles from me, but I have not found the time to head over there yet. Maybe tomorrow?

JeffS - nice night shots. Love the Bada Bing sign!

Tim - Welcome back I myslef went MIA for a few months. Nice flowers , like the morning dew drops.

Tom - everyone loves a fair ! I did not make it to the local one here this year. (missed on 1k calorie corn dogs !) Thanks for sharing.

Twitch - Interesting shot. Very melancholy.

John - love sunrise / sunsets especially over water. Nice series #2 and #4 are my favorites.

xjjohono - not sure I am the Dave you referer to but I have known you as the bird man! Love the first and last one.

Pop4 - ha! Something out of Men in Black !

I missed a rainbow last night. We are socked in for a couple of days of rain. Suppose to nice on the weekend so maybe I will get out then.

A few more from a couple of days ago on a local bike ride (the pedal kind).

Took the 55-300 out for a spin.





This fellow heard the rather loud sound of the AF on the lens ha!

Olde Tyme Beach

What do you do when your gear's been in the A/C and you didn't think to pre-heat it before taking pics? Let the fog on the glass become a "gel" filter of course.

Daacon, you are the Dave I was referring to.
Fortunately I managed to avoid having to work today being Saturday so that meant playing with some new old lenses. An auto Takumar was the lens of choice for a visit to the market, a recent buy and in need of further exploration to get the best out of it.

A silver Helios 44 did a round of the local front yards and a bit of night street shooting.
