Picture of the Week POTW 392 February 28-March 5, 2016

Picture of the Week POTW 392 February 28-March 5, 2016

Welcome to another round of Picture of the Week (POTW). This is edition #392.

POTW is a great spot to show off any shots you take or are editing within the thread's date range. In other words, you can post your shots from this week AND last week.

Thanks very much to the photographers who posted images in POTW 391.

Please consider inviting other Pentaxians to post here.

Some rules:
1) No theme, just post your favorite pix
2) Six or fewer images per person per thread to prevent thread bloat
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 thread hosts: 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

This was a concept I had for the 'Glorious Glass' photo contest. My lighting setup didn't work (literally-the backlight wouldn't fire) and the contest expired before I could try again. The background is a black tee-shirt, the 'lake' is a blue sheet of plastic from a yard sale, and the swans have been in a curio cabinet for decades. The lens was a Tamron-F 28mm f2.8 M42 mount.

Haven't tried to post anything on POTW in a while...

Spring flowers already opening up around here, Yellow Jasmine all over the place



Usually one of the first, Spring Beauty. Macro with 135mm and 55mm extension tubes, natural sunlight.



Violet, same macro rig



And a Mockingbird so nobody thinks I'm losing it...

We spent the weekend in Clarksville and Nashville Tennessee.

Riverside Drive in Clarksville


An old barn along a trail in Clarksville's Rotary Park:


Nashville Public Library


A bar on Broadway in Nashville


You might see anything on Broadway:


A little window shopping on Broadway with a self portrait in the reflection. $32 for those shoes, what a deal!

Been hiking with my camera for the past few weeks, gradually tweaking settings and learning how to shoot wildlife.
