Welcome to the 556 edition of Picture of the Week (POTW), covering 1 July - 15 July 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.

Thanks for hosting again Eva - the undertakers look fun, and the greek myth as essential and integral to street life, as it should be!. More flowers & a miscellany of old lenses from me this week. The first two taken with my K5 & Super Takumar 135mm f3.5 at f3.5 & f8 respectively, the third a PZO Matar 5 cm f4.5 enlarger lens, the fourth a Vega 12B 90mm f2.8, and the last a PZO Amar 10.5 cm enlarger lens;

Thanks, Eva, for hosting again.

These creative blur images of daisies were captured this evening with my Pentax K-S2 at shutter speeds of 1.3 seconds and 3 seconds. Processing was in Lightroom 4 and Viveza.

I would be grateful for any expressions of preference — by PM if you prefer not to comment in this thread.

Best wishes!

Noel: the photos of the Pachyderms (elephants by any other name) are wonderful...I use "Pachyderm" because it sounds like an insect--the kind you like to photograph...lol...Seriously though the photos of these ever increasingly endangered animals are lovely. Cheers.
