3) Any Pentax camera is fine, film, P&S, DSLR (or Samsung DSLR)
4) Date : Sunday 2/1/09 - Sunday 2/15/09
5) Enter anything you shot last week or this current week until the thread closes.

Have a good week!

To start with some of last week, posted elsewhere stupidly.....
Shot with my new Helios-44M-4, hope that nobody gets too thirsty this early Monday morning

Wow, what a load of very impressive animal photos in this weeks POTW!

Dave, I like your red shed a lot.
Georg, what a great sky! I like the colours in that one!

[Rense]

Probably I will be declared an outcast in this POTW, because this has nothing - no, even less - to do with animals. Did some shooting of my pedal board because I like the shapes and the lights, besides the sound of course....

It's been a while since I've shot a flower. My wife got a nice bouquet from her boss, so I snatched one and shot it this morning.

K200D, DA35 macro, Sunpak flash with snoot fired remotely with Cybersync transmitter/receiver.

Here are couple from last week when I could actually see the sunrise! It had been pretty cloudy and dreary here in Minnesota but for a couple days last week we were treated to this:

[daacon]

Kevin - thanks for the comments - I love your bird shots - some day I hope to be able to do the BIF - I suck at it so far.

Jezza323 - thanks for the comments

Bud - great shots - love the wolf

Toshi - thanks for the comments - Great series I love #2.

Georg - thanks for the comments - yes I have posted a picture of that llama before - just not that one. There are a couple on a farm not far from where I live. Beautiful colors in your shot ! Love the blue's.

Rense - interesting series - have not seen a pedal board from that perspective before love the lights.

Alan - that rose is so well lit up - excellent closeup.

MrAppolinax - Really like the tree / sunset shot , building has great colors as well.

[daacon]

Lately I have started experiencing the 'dark side' of BW conversion - here are a few....







These may be the last from me for a while - heading off soon on a two week holiday - if I don't post again for a while you know why

Got these last Saturday. Sailing on San Francisco Bay sure looks like fun.
K20 + DA 50-200mm

Seeing this right now from the window of our attick....
Had to try LR2/Mogrify, so you have to deal with the border and the name tag

Dave, Those are nice, cold pictures...I can see why you are off to somewhere warmer.

Jason, Great shot of that old BMW. Nice work.

Steve, I remember eating those when I was a kid. That shot brings back some good memories.
