POTW Photo Of The Week 168 May 29 - June 12
Posted By: JeffJS, 06-05-2011, 06:32 PM

Welcome to edition 168 of the Pentax Forum's Picture of the Week. Thanks to Mattt for hosting last week!

This edition covers photos from 29 May - June 12 2011. That lets you show off any shots you took last week but haven't processed until now. In other words, you can post your shots from this week AND last week.

POTW is a great place to show what you've been shooting day-to-day. It gives us all a chance to see what other members are up to with their Pentax (and Samsung) cameras in the parts of the world in which they live or have visited. We can share ideas, learn from one another, and have a good time.

So show us what you've seen in your little corner of the planet! Looking forward to seeing all of what's out there this week. A special welcome to all new members!

Again same rules as always:

1) No theme, just post your favourite pix.

2) Lets keep it to fewer than 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) Enter anything you shot last week or during this current week until the thread closes.

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

Here are a few to kick it off. My roses are in full bloom now so your eyes are going to bleed red before I'm done showing them off.







Near dusk lighting rubs a lot of people the wrong way when it comes to flowers it seems but I Really like what it did for these photos. More to come.

What you might lose in brilliance at dusk, you certainly make up in texture. I very much the first rose pic Jeff.

The funny thing about a macro lens I've found is that you point it at the strangest things....

1) I would have thought that counterfeit laws would have been enough to discourage copying, but apparently (C) is required for paper money. Go figure.

2) Dirty QWERTY - yuck

3) DIM Bulb - when Compact Flourescents go bad

4) Soldiering on

Jeff thanks for hosting. Love your roses. They're so red and the reds don't merge into each other.

Matt, nice shots. I like the "QWERTY" shot best. TFS.

Ash, I like the last one of yours. That guy pouring into another can, I'd have that all over the floor, nothing in the can. LOL

I haven't played here for a few times, but since some of you commented on my Lizard, I thought I'd post it for the week's POTW:

Jeff, thanks for hosting. I'm almost ashamed to post, there are some great works here, and a good variety too.

Thanks for posting and the comments everyone.

Tom, Squirrels are always fun and nice job on the Lillies.

sealonsf, well done. I think it's a shame though that the sports stadiums now carry corporate names rather than the main team name.

Doggy1972, those are some killer bee shots!

SpecialK, Love the sports cars. Well done!

Photolady, cool lizard. What kind is he/she? We don't see those in Michigan.

Ash, Great job on the statue photo. Some sort of Shrine decor?

Mattt, I don't know about your keyboards, but on mine, the Q is always the cleanest key save maybe for some dust.

Keep them coming everyone.

Coming and Going

Thanks for hosting Jeff. Lots of amazing shots already including your vibrant roses. I spent the day in Banff last week and probably took over 300 shots with a variety of lenses, but I have been busy culling the collection. Here are some I liked:
