Picture of the Week POTW 400 April 24-April 30, 2016

Welcome to another round of Picture of the Week (POTW). This is a milestone edition — #400!

Many Pentaxians have hosted this thread after it was launched by Peter Zack.

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.

Please consider including in your post any special circumstances or tips on technique or equipment which might be interesting to others.
Please identify your camera and lens if that information is easily available to you.

Also, please consider inviting other Pentaxians to join us.


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 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

Although most of the tulips at Dow Gardens in Midland, Michigan, will bloom later, below are a few images from a bed outside the Visitors Center.
Also below are two sunset images, which I captured thanks to the sunset forecast at the website SunsetWx That website also includes sunrises and covers the continental United States, southern Canada and northern Mexico.

This week has so many superb photos!

I've not participated in POTW in a long time, mainly because of the press of work, but also because I've been so lazy in processing photos in the week I shot them. But seeing as it's a milestone edition of POTW -- #400! -- and to thank Stu for his valiant efforts to keep this venerable weekly event going, I thought it worth getting my backside in gear to take part. All these were taken with my Pentax K5-IIs and Pentax-M 28/2.8 manual lens.

A challenging location to shoot, but a promising one full of potential, this dark reach of river is studded with river potholes. In the foreground there's a pothole -- in gneiss, if you like knowing that kind of thing -- about the size of a pickup truck tire. That crusty light-colored tinge on the rock is dried algae, a relatively recent occurrence, which in shade always appears a bit blue:




The same pothole from a higher vantage point:




Though the sun doesn't manage to hit the water here in many places, the sun-lit tree canopy high above the river is reflected. My M-28/2.8 produces very blue photos in shade, but even this is as close to the colors as I remember them:




In another place, I'm never able to pass this convoluted ledge drop without shooting some photos. The sun doesn't hit the spot directly but here, either, but the waves reflect the tree tops. And at this water level, the flow is always glassy as it makes this little step down.
