Welcome to the 540th edition of Picture of the Week (POTW), covering 4 to 17 March 2019. Let's see what you have been shooting these past two weeks. POTW is a great spot to show off six or fewer 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.

To post your great photos, just hit reply and attach away.

Feel free to start immediately.

Please:

• consider including in your post any special circumstances or tips on technique or equipment which might be interesting to others.

• identify your camera and lens if that information is easily available to you.

And please invite 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), but if you are interested and willing to host POTW, please send me a PM, before I contact others.

If possible, the new thread will be linked to the previous one. If the thread doesn't start, please contact the host, via PM. Here are the records of recent POTW thread hosts: 390-406 smf, 407-408ramseybuckeye, 409-411 stubyles, 412-423 SD_Bob, 424-427 dave kitson 428-451 smf 452, 453, 454 StephenHampshire 455 Aslyfox, 456 StepehenHampshire, 457-466 noelcmn, 467 Aslyfox, 469-470 aaacb 471 Madmathmind, 472 Madmathmind, 473 Eva, 474 rjbrett, 475 Aslyfox, 476 - 485 noelcmn, 486 - 488 rjbrett, 489 clackers, 490 - 498 rjbrett, 499 StephenHampshire 500 smf, 501 StephenHampshire, 502-505 Eva, 506-525 Vaskebjorn, 526-538 noelcmn, 539-540 aaacb

Thanks for hosting again aaacb. I forgot to post additional images to last week's POTW as promised, so to makeup for my deficiencies, I'll kick us off with a few.










Making good use of the earbuds, that I use to gently clean the sensor from time to time

Thanks Noel. Here are some film photos that I developed and scanned last week (ilford hp5+, km + fa 43)





This last one came out like this because the second curtain was slow due to the cold, since it travels horizontally on the km it turned out fine.

From my side a couple of photos taken on the coast side of the “polder” I live in. Fo people not knowing what a polder is, it is more or less a Dutch specialty where the put some dikes in the sea, pump the water out and then use the gained land. This implicates that i technically live at the bottom of the sea in a city that has over 200.000 inhabitants and is not even 40 years old
