POTW # 200 ! 22 January - 5 Feb 2012
Welcome to edition #200 of the Pentax Forums' Picture of the Week. Special thanks to Arn for hosting the previous week and inviting me to come back and host the 200th edition of this series. It's been awhile since I've been here and I'm so glad to see this little project, that was started so long ago, is still so very active.

Since I haven't shot a Pentax for some time now, you'll have to forgive me and I'll dig something out of the archives to post. It will be a Pentax shot but just not taken during this time period.

This edition covers photos from 22 January - 5 Feb 2012. 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.

Casper, you pics aren't showing, welcome to POTW.
Jessesdad, neat collection of portaits.
Pics from today, darned if that cat didn't turn up for more pics while we were on walkabout.

[Jessesdad]

Cheers xj,
Gotta love that 2CV!!
My cats are in hospital with the flu. Missing them.

Steve, where is your Blackwood, the terrain looks wrong for the Blackwood in Victoria Australia, too many trees there.
Hope the cats get better, this one belongs to one of our neighbours and seems to have a thing about posing for pics when we go out for a stroll.

[Jessesdad]

Blackwood in South Australia. An hour to the Fleurieu Peninsula and the beautiful beaches. Two of the shots are at Kings beach which is great for snorkeling and starfish.

Hi Casper14 Welcome to PTOW (hope there are not 14 Caspers around here otherwise I'm calling in Ghost Busters ) your pics are not showing.

Thanks Peter for coming back to host the 200th POTW, and for starting this very interesting thread. Great to see pics from all over the world.
Here's my contribution. I mentioned I was going to take some pics of the local Chinese New Year of the Dragon last Saturday. Well it got rained out-it least when I got there, so not many pics of that-I was hoping to get some action of the dragon parade-alas it was not to be, so I settled for this display one. Taken in the rain, so the spots/stripes are rain drops.


This artist was very good and at one stage was bouncing 8 balls up and down a flight of stairs.


Mega earphones


No sooner had the rained stopped and this guy was at it again-not wasted time here.



This fellow came for a visit one night.


From the garden


Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and for those participating in World Pentax Day (I am one of them-preparing for tomorrow) enjoy a wonderful exercise. I am looking forward to the pics. It a rather special thread.

Lots of great photos here again this week.
A few from a couple of days ago; some cool door handles, chairs inside a darkened pub, and FREE BEER?

[xjjohnno]

Cif, you have some serious talent, love those portraits and landscapes you post.
Steve, been out your way a couple of times on the bike, lovely country.
Vam, cool pic, me with OHS training has all sorts of thoughts going through my head about fall protection.
Noel, lovely dahlia, of course where you live keeps drawing in the seasonal parrallels to Oz
