Welcome to edition 187 of the Pentax Forums' Picture of the Week. Thanks to pentaximus for hosting the previous week. Very sorry for the delayed start, I was out of town, pretty much out of contact and the person I had asked to host could not. I will just go ahead and host again rather that find someone this late.

This edition covers photos from 23 Oct 2011 - 6 November 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 has been a while since I posted in the forums - too busy to appreciate everyone's great results. In an effort to slow down I've done myself a project to observe the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day 11/11/11. Needless to say, the memorials are vacant.

Great pics coming in.
As the nation watched a horse race we opted instead for a visit to the Botanical Gardens not being keen on all the fuss plus not being gambling types.

First time on POTW. My friend's dog getting ready for a walk =D

Welcome to POTW, post your pics anytime, the more the merrier.
Cheeky looking dog there.

This was taken for submission to Project 52-4-6 Focus-Shallow, but I submitted something else and left this on the cutting room floor. That's right... I share my scraps with the POTW crowd.




And a couple of candids I took as everyone was posing for obligatory group Halloween costume pics:

Davidw0815, may be a depressing view, but a great photo, all three are good, that first one is just cool.

Matt, nice to see you back, interesting shot, provokes a lot of thought and feelings. Looking forward to more of the series!

Kyle, nice Halloween series, with an international flair!

I would have wanted to do both, but the horse race itself doesn't really last very long. Very nice plant shots, those first two plants look like something I'd try to kill, but the difference between a weed and a flower is that usually one was planted on purpose.Great shots!

Very nice shot, good choice for B&W!

Cute dog, a walk makes them so happy. nice portrait.

pentaximus, Thanks for the scraps, doesn't look like any should be left with hungry looking ghouls! Fun stuff!

Nice critter John, what is s/he? I love the colour.

That's our male Green Anole (Anolis Carolinensis) Ralphie while molting.

Thanks for letting me know - the power of google I did some reading, these are really neat critters.

Wow, beautiful yards, nice crisp shots, well done!

I like the perspective composition of that first shot, very cool. 300mm or longer?
