POTW 5th January 2013 - 19th January 2014
Posted By: mattb123, 01-12-2014, 11:40 PM

Welcome to another round of Picture of the Week. This is edition #297 covers 5th January 2013 - 19th January 2014.

POTW is a great spot to show off any shots you take in the upcoming week, or last week that you haven't processed until now. In other words, you can post your shots from this week AND last week.

Some rules:
1) No theme, just post your favorite pix.
2) 5 or less images per post just so the thread doesn't get too big.
3) Any Pentax or Samsung camera, film or digital.

The current host will invite a new host 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 bluestringer, Moderator via PM.

Here are the records of previous POTW threads: 1 Peter Zack, 2 Eaglerapids, 3 rmtagg, 4 Peter Zack, 5 daacon, 6 Bramela, 7 mtnbearhug, 8 dantuyhoa, 9 gawan,10 roentarre, 11 daacon, 12 Kris, 13 mtnbearhug, 14 SCGushue, 15 daacon, 16 maxwell1295, 17 dantuyhoa, 18 daacon, 19 maxwell1295, 19(2) daacon, 20 Bramela, 21 Syb, 22 maxwell1295, 23 maxwell1295, 24 dantuyhoa, 25 Gawan, 26 Peter Zack, 27 borno, 28 daacon, 29 gawan, 30 Damn Brit, 31 maxwell1295, 32 maxwell1295, 33 dantuyhoa, 34 daacon, 35 Peter Zack, 36 Damn Brit, 37 Borno, 38 Kevint, 39 Peter Zack, 40 Timbo13, 41 daacon, 42 daacon, 43 gawan, 44 dantuyhoa, 45 daacon, 46 Rense, 47 daacon, 48 Rense, 49 borno, 50 Rense, 51 daacon, 52 Peter Zack, 53 Peter Zack, 54 dadipentax, 55 David Whiteley, 56 planedriver, 57 daacon,58 Bramela, 59 daacon, 60 gawan, 61 virgilr, 62 daacon, 63 RickL, 64 Peter Zack, 65 Peter Zack, 66 Causey, 67 daacon, 68 Bramela, 69 georgeweb, 70 daacon,71 seacapt, 72 daacon, 73 AOski, 74 Rense, 75 eccs19, 76 daacon, 77 xs400, 78 daacon, 79 Bramela, 80 Borno, 81 legacyb4, 82 daacon, 83 gawan, 84 Rense, 85 Peter Zack, 86 davef, 87 davef, 88 xjjohnno, 89 Bramela, 90 Peter Zack, 91 daacon, 92 stevebrot, 93 reeftool, 94 jezza323, 95 oldschool, 96 Iris, 97 Rense, 98 planedriver, 99 xs400, 100 Peter Zack, 101 Netuser, 102 Photolady, 103 Tamia, 104 Irishwhite, 105 Ramseybuckeye, 106 xjjohnno, 107 Bumbibop, 108 JeffJS, 109 Tpeace, 110 Nomad, 111 Photolady, 112 rparmar, 113 Peter Zack, 114 casil403, 115 Tamia , 116 JeffJS, 117 bbluesman, 118 Clou, 119 ruggiex, 120 Jimbow007, 121 jmschrie, 122 VaughnA , 123 pop4, 124 casil403, 125 woof, 126 twitch, 127 stevebrot, 128 ohce, 129 jmschrei, 130 photolady, 131 photolady, 132 bbluesman, 133 rparmar, 134 reeftool, 135 reeftool, 136 Oldschool, 137 xjjohonno, 138 KarenH , 139 Rense, 140 daacon, 141 Tamia, 142 JeffJS, 143 bbluesman, 144 fotaki, 145 fotaki, 146 Woof, 147 Bramela, 148 Bramela, 149 Tamia, 150 Nomad, 151 Clou, 152 drugal, 153 rparmar, 154 Nomad, 155 jmschrei, 156 noelcmn, 157 noelcmn, 158 rwfarnell, 159 ramseybuckeye, 160 christophleipzig, 161 JeremytheIndian, 162 SpecialK, 163 emetcalf, 164 emetcalf, 165 stevebrot, 166 rparmar, 167 Mattt, 168 JeffJS, 169 jmschrei, 170 fotaki, 171 xs400, 172 TOUGEFC, 173 TOUGEFC, 174 Warped, 175 MaryAD, 176 Davidw0815, 177 baro-nite, 178 baro-nite, 179 pentaximus, 180 lukulele, 181 lukulele, 182 rob 1234, 183 lukulele, 184 lukulele, 185 pentaximus, 186 ramseybuckeye, 187 ramseybuckeye, 188 StDevious, 189 Free Soul, 190 Clou, 191 brvnara, 192 pentaximus, 193 Noelcmn, 194 Noelcmn 195 GmcarsMAN, 196 jmschreii,197 wolfiegirl, 198 xjjohnno, 199 Arn , 200 Peter Zack, 201 bluestringer, 202 cif, 203 Rollsup, 204 noelcm, 205 Davidw0815, 206 Davidw0815, 207 cif, 208 ramseybuckeye, 209 paulh, 210 Oldschool, 211 SpecialK, 212 mecrox, 213 pentaximus, 215 bramela, 216 jmschrei, 217 Exandr, 218 Noelcmn, 219 Noelcmn, 220 sergiu, 221 sergiu, 222 sergiu, 223 sergiu, 224 sergiu, 225 sergiu, 226 sergiu, 227 sergiu, 228 Davidw08, 229 reeftool, 230 reeftool, 231 cif, 232 mecrox, 233 mecrox, 234 glennbp, 235 glennbp, 236 pentaximus, 237 pentaximus, 238 pentaximus,239 Paul, 240 Nick Nero, 241 Arnold, 242 Arnold, 243 Arnold, 244 Arnold, 245 Nick Nero, 246 ramseybuckeye, 247 ramseybuckeye, 248 Douge, 249 Douge 250 Douge, 251 Dr Orloff, 252 lukulele, 253 lukulele, 254 nosliwmit, 255 nosliwmit, 256 nosliwmit, 257 casil403, 258 casil403, 259 Davidw0815, 260 Davidw0815, 261 ruggiex, 262 ruggiex, 263 mecrox, 264 pentaximus, 265 pentaximus, 266 SpecialK, 267 SpecialK, 268 filoxophy, 269 mecrox, 270 mecrox, 271 mecrox, 272 Paleo Pete, 273 Paleo Pete, 274 geomez, 275 geomez, 276 geomez, 277 mecrox, 278 mecrox, 279 mecrox, 280 Noelcmn, 281 Noelcmn, 282 Noelcmn, 283 Noelcmn, 284 Noelcmn, 285Alkazalsir, 286 StephenHampshire, 287 StephenHampshire, 288 wolfiegirl, 289 Bucfan1234, 290 nosliwmit, 291 wolfiegirl, 292 wolfegirl, 293 ramseybuckeye, 294 ramseybuckeye, 295 josh-fuggle, mattb123

...called a selfish bastard for "harassing wildlife" while getting this first photo with the ducks...
I was gonna say the same thing.

Excellent photos, as usual!

Well, I've been at it again...and got a couple of birds I've wanted to shoot for a while or rarely see...at the feeder anyway...

Dark Eyed Junco...never lets me get close, most of the time when I see one it's in the shade, never got a good shot yet. This one decided to visit the feeder a couple of days ago. I've seen them using the feeder before but as usual they left when I tried to get close. A Tufted Titmouse flew in while I took the shot so I kept it.



Several Bluejays visit now and then, and if I'm already sitting there and can be still enough, one stops to munch a little. From just over 11 feet away, the 135mm Makinon does a pretty good job.





This is about the best I usually get of the Red Bellied Woodpecker. I've seen them on the feeder a couple of times, even got a few decent shots but from a distance.



That was taken while he was checking me out from a distance, about 15 feet behind the feeder. So he finally decided to fly over and grab a few sunflower seeds...and you can see here why he got the name Red Bellied Woodpecker. The red chest patch is not often visible, he's usually seen against a tree trunk..

Many thanks for hosting, mattb123. Stunning shots this week, from landscapes to close-ups via Pup, bird, feline and doggies. Another week has whizzed past already. Just time for a couple of outings. The flooding here is now gradually draining away, thank heavens. Here are a few of mine:

Super duper stuff around here again.
Wolfiegirl-your weekly dose this week is super-Just love that grumpy shot. It just great that you are sharing her growing years with us. And she is getting Cuter by the day!
Paleo Pete, another super series from you.
Mecrox-delightful set from you, love that first and last one.

Some extra's from the Singles in January again-it is keeping me on my toes so to speak! In particular order.

Great job this week everybody, I'm jealous. I haven't had my camera all week until tonight. I had bought a new Tamron lens that was "not right". They tried to fix it but it still wasn't right. They asked me to send the camera with it and just got it back tonight, not enough time to really test it, but it looks promising.

Wow. Great shots this week.

Here a couple of test shots from new to me Super Takumar 50mm F1.4 in M42.

Really happy with this lens that I picked up for very liitle $ attached to a nice Spotmatic.

That's a nice buy, bucfan1234 - very attractive and delicate rendering, lovely shots.

V nice set there, noelcmn. Your first shot of the feather is super, and so are the images of the moth and the butterfly with the green grass and the pale blueness of the butterfly.

Seems Wolfiepup is keeping everyone on their toes!

You're telling me! Half of the grandparent's house is out of bounds and I had to keep on getting up to collect her. She even figured out how to crawl onto the verandah

Hi all!

I spent Christmas and New Year's in Peru. Got back last weekend but it's taken me quite awhile to get through my almost 3000 photos...

I'm just under the wire on dates: I took all three of these photos on Jan 5 with my K-5 and DA*300...

This male jaguar was lounging along the banks of the Manu River, in the Peruvian Amazon basin.




This is a squirrel monkey--we encountered a group of about 20 of them shortly before seeing the jaguar.




This is a bird called a horned screamer:
