POTW #625 - January 31, 2021 to February 13, 2021
Posted By: nosliwmit, 02-07-2021, 06:07 AM

Welcome to the 625th edition of Pictures of the Week (POTW), covering the period January 31 to February 13. Let's see what you have been shooting.

POTW is a great spot to show off six or fewer shots you take or are editing within the thread's date range.
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.

Thanks very much to all previous hosts and to people who have posted images!

Here is my contribution for the week. The first was taken with my D-FA 100mm macro and the rest with my smc-A 24 f2.8. I was playing with the high contrast digital filter...

Thanks for hosting again nosliwmit, you are setting the record here! A few from my recent consecutive days visit over the weekend to Kloofendal Nature Reserve, seeing that level 3 lockdown now allows parks and recreation facilities to be opened again.
Sometimes the Tamron 70-300mm Macro surprises me

I'll contribute... experimenting with the FD50 f1.8, I'm getting used to it day by day...The main purpose is to learn the weaknesses of the lens so I can get the full potential. I love the look of it, the pp is minimal, only some contrast correction because the nifty is a little soft. The photos below are from a morning walk, yes, all from one day, but I find the set interesting and it's the most interesting intriguing theme of my week.
