Welcome to the 635th edition of Pictures of the Week (POTW), covering July 1-18, 2021. Let's see what you have been shooting and/or processing.

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

My images were captured with my monopd-mounted Pentax K-S2 and an older SMC Pentax Macro1.4/100mm lens.

To post your 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!

How did you make the first photo? Did you use additional lights? I really like it, and nice set overall too.

Thank you. No additional light as far as I can remember, just that great little lens- the F-DA 50mm Macro f2.8, which was the aperture used, ISO 400 and shutter of 1000, which will tell you the light was really good on the day. and of course some PP.
