POTW #176 Aug 07, 2011 - Aug 20, 2011
Posted By: Davidw0815, 08-14-2011, 01:08 PM

Welcome to edition 176 of the Pentax Forum's Picture of the Week. Thanks to Warped for hosting the previous edition!


This edition covers photos from Aug 07 - Aug 20, 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 the links to previous POTW threads:

It's my first photo post.

A shot for my presentation of my wristwatch. I dunno why, but I love the grain (noise) on BW pics.

Great pictures so far!
I spend the weekend visiting friends in Stuttgart. Here are two shots from the trip I especially like.

Reflections [K 50/1.2]


Johanneskirche [K 24/2.8]


Funny thing: there are actually living turtles in this lake - not something you'd normally expect in southern Germany.

This last weekend found me in the mountains on my first backpack trip in eight years (sidelined by a serious shoulder injury 7 1/2 years ago). The trip was of moderate length and difficulty and went well and I even have a few photos to show for the trouble! Here are two that I manage to do something with this evening...







The location is the Lower Canyon Creek Meadows on the NE side of Three Fingered Jack mountain in the Central Cascades of Oregon. Three Fingered Jack is the ragged core of an extinct volcano and features colorfully banded cliffs.

Both were taken with the Pentax-FA 35/2 on the K10D.

(more to come...I think...weird angle fisheye stuff with the Zenitar...)

A couple from me, both using my K5 and the DA 15mm f4.

First, a Christian procession with marching and music in Oxford:





Second, a detail of the ceiling of Worcester College Chapel, Oxford, something of a Victorian wow. There was no artificial lighting inside, so I laid the camera on the floor, held it steady and took a long exposure of six seconds or so.

I'm loving all these shots, gang!

stevebrot: I'm hoping to make a western trip next year. The Cascades could well be on the itenerary.

xjjohnno: Those flower pics are mighty sharp. What lense?

mecrox: That chapel ceiling is just gorgeous! Excellent use of the floor for a longer exposure.

Couple of recent ones from me. haven't been online much the past two weeks, but got a few nice shots here and there.

Hoverfly I think. Lentar 135mm and Vivitar extension tubes. Windy so I was lucky to get anything.



Honey bee visiting some of the few flowers this year, same flowers as above but different location.



Alligator in a local lake, this one is about 4 feet long, maybe a bit more. Didn't know about the two Damselflies on his head until I looked at the pictures later.



Having connection issues today so I just posted the larger versions instead of smaller and linking.

You know I kind of hate you right about now, Don't you? (green with envy).

Nice shots.
