Photo of the Week #128, August 22 - September 5, 2010
Posted By: ohce, 08-29-2010, 11:05 AM

Welcome to the 128th edition of the Pentax Forum's Picture of the Week!
This edition covers photos taken between August 22th and September 5th, 2010, or shots from last week you haven't processed until now.

Thanks to woof 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 22 to Sunday September 5 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, 126 twitch, 127 stevebrot, 128 ohce

A few from my day in downtown Seattle. Six 12 hour days were rewarded by an afternoon of walking around the Pike Place market and downtown Seattle. I got a few shots but really missed my 10-20. All were taken with my K-x and 16-45.

Fish Market


Market Grille: Best Salmon I've ever had, not a great photo but the memory is great.

Yes, excellent start for the week! @planedrive has really laid down the gauntlet and Clou, Vaughn, and @eccs19 have replied in kind.

Lots of great photos this week so far, especially with respect to perspective really playing a role.

Oche - nice grasslands

Andras - I gotta ask...which cockpit? Also like the 2nd shot's color scheme

Clou - I love the shadows in untitled, a simple but striking photo

Vaughn - like the first fish shot, would like to see it in color also, interesting bike angle and timing

eccs19 - I really like the bokeh and resulting color blend in the 2nd, which lens???

Here's one from my shoot today for Project 52 OOF. Pushed the ISO to 3200 for the grain and shot in monochrome with a "blue" filter:

SMC-A 1:2.8 28mm, 1/400", F3.2, ISO 3200

ohce, thanks for hosting this week's POTW, looks like a flier of a start.
Took my Super Tak 25mm f3.5 out for a walk to the Docklands precinct.

And that broken observation wheel still hasn't been fixed.

I haven't used my 200/4 Tak in a while so I took it out in the kayak Friday with the intention of getting some shots of the last few flowers still blooming. I mounted an extention tube and started focusing when this hummingbird drifted into the shot. I did the best I could but got some motion blur and slightly off focus on most but he stopped and perched on a branch just long enough for this shot.
