POTW #192: 27 Nov 2011 - 11 Dec 2011
Posted By: pentaximus, 12-04-2011, 09:44 PM

Welcome to edition 192 of the Pentax Forums' Picture of the Week. Special thanks to rookie host brvnara for hosting the previous week and inviting me to host this week.

This edition covers photos from 27 November - 11 December 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 favorite 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:

At the craft fair

Pentaximus, I really like your "dwight exit blur" shot.

Went to a big Christmas craft fair today, but only got a few shots before some busy body shut me down and told me that photos aren't allowed. Still learning, but these two were taken with a DA 40mm on my K-5.

Jmshrei, sorry to hear about the surgery-hope it goes well. Wish you a successful op and speedy recovery.

Yes, indeed! Prayers and hope that you're soon behind the camera again!
Thanks for the good wishes! I am back home from the hospital now but I think I shall be percolating on Percocet and looking at all the pretty pictures here on the Pentax site for a few days before I am back to taking my own.

reeftool: Ooooh! The 15 Lmtd for shooting fireworks. Nice idea! Lovely shots!

ramseybuckeye: My wife likes your sycamore tree as well. Looking forward to more Tammy 10-24 shots, as I have that lens under consideration. Same lens in the last 3 shots???

JohnA: Thanks! The Dwight Yoakam concert was really entertaining and fun to try to shoot. I can't believe you got shut down at a Christmas craft fair!!! But thanks for sharing your "illicit" photos.

jmschrei: Yea! Welcome back, Joe! Relax and recover.

tsakatsaka: Wow! What a really lovely set! I assume all of these are of Greece? I guess I was unaware that the seasons visited there. #3 looks like it could be a local Georgia scene!

Thanks everyone for showing us what you're shooting! Noel is slated to host POTW #193. See you then!

Yes it is, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about using it. I was pleased in the detail of the slightly backlit squirrel at 100%. I did fix the perspective in the picture of the buildings. The photo below better shows what kind of distortion you can get, I can live with that. I tried a few shots into the sun and got some flaring, and I could not get a sunstar on a couple attempts. Everything else has been good so far. I'm having fun with it.

@ reeftool I'm glad you like them, your night shots in the previous page are absolutely great
@ pentaximus yes they are from Greece thanks for the comment. Unfortunately looks like this year Christmas is not going to be really cold at this part of the world

@ ramseybuckeye I like the secamore tree, the tamron is looking fine. I think in b/w it would look even better
