Welcome to another round of Picture of the Week (POTW).

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, Ricoh 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

I took this shot around sunset with the sun behind clouds. Conventional post-processing wasn't giving me anything I liked. I then turned down the clarity (by 50% in lightroom) and liked the effect.
Sunset in an adjacent lake a few minutes later.

Thanks for hosting this week.

Leg is much improved now and I'm starting to get out more with the camera...

Wow, that's two spectacular photos to start us Bob, and Dave follows right in with a super shot. BTW, thanks for hosting. I haven't spent a lot of time with the camera this week, but it has been at the right time for lighting.

These were captured with a handheld K-S2 at Dahlia Hill, which is planted and maintained by volunteers in Midland, Michigan.

And the blurring in the image below was intended.

Here's one from the Midland Balloon Festival, captured with a 100-300mm Pentax lens.

I'm driving cross country so this gives me some photos to post.

The aspens are at Brian Head, UT
The sunset is at Cedar Breaks National Monument UT
The landscape is at Capitol Reef NP, UT

Sorry if they don't look good post-processing...I'm working from a laptop screen...

I am on holiday in Port Elizabeth, my home town, and the first 4 days were spent in Addo Elephant National Park, seeing that they offered free entry to South African citizens, as part of Heritage Month celebrations. I took full advantage .




These Cheetah are actually rogue cats, having escaped from an adjoining (breeding?) reserve. They are not endemic to the area, and there are plans afoot to capture them and take them to another reserve. Still I was glad to get a sight of them.

Nice shots this week.
Dave, don't know what was wrong with your leg, but good to hear that it is getting better - nice landscape
ramseybuckeye, some great shots for not spending much time, hard to pick a favorite - maybe the 2nd one
gerardbaron, dreamy shot -good use of the blur
smf, cool flower shots
mattb123, you're making me homesick (lived in Colorado for 25 yrs)
EBirdy, Utah is such a great photostop - love the pictures
noelcmn, especially like the cheetahs and that last bird shot - really cool looking
Hattifnatt, that looks like a wonderful place to visit, like that long exposure on the first shot

Thanks everyone.
