Weekly 111-Photo of the week April 18th thru May 9th 2010. · **1 Like**

Welcome to 111th edition of the Pentax Forum's Picture of the Week!
This edition covers photos taken between April 18th thru May 9th.

Thanks to Keith (Nomad) for hosting last week, and giving me a chance to host a second time.

POTW is a great way to see what Pentax owners are doing with their cameras as they post whatever pictures they took during the active week. Check in here to see a nice variety of great photos.

So grab your camera, get out there and shoot! Then come on back here and share your shots with your fellow Pentaxians!

Feel free to post your photos from this coming week, as well as this last week!

Again same rules and really other than time frames, there are no rules:

1) No theme, just post your favorite pix.

2) Let's keep it to about 4-6 images per post just so the thread doesn't get too big each week.

3) Any Pentax camera or Samsung DSLR is fine, whether it's film, P&S, or DSLR

4) Date: Sunday 18 April 2010 to Sunday 9 May 2010. Enter anything you shot last week or during this current week until the thread closes. Old shots with a new look from post processing during the open time period are also welcome.

5) The current host will appoint the new host as an invitation via PM. If possible, the new thread will be linked to the previous one and the new thread will start between 12:00EST and 5PM EST on the Sunday. If the thread doesn't start, please contact Peter Zack, Moderator via PM.

Previous hosts: Each one is a hotlink to that POTW thread to look past at the previous 109 weeks. 1 Peter Zack, 2Eaglerapids 3 rmtagg, 4 Peter Zack, 5 daacon, 6 Bramela, 7 mtnbearhug, 8 dantuyhoa, 9 gawan,10 roentarre, 11 daacon, 12 Kris, 13 mtnbearhug, 14 SCGushue, 15 daacon, 16 maxwell1295, 17 dantuyhoa, 18 daacon, 19 maxwell1295 19(2) daacon, 20 Bramela, 21 Syb, 22 maxwell1295, 23 maxwell1295, 24 dantuyhoa, 25 Gawan, 26 Peter Zack, 27 borno, 28 daacon, 29 gawan, 30 Damn Brit, 31 maxwell1295 32 maxwell1295 , 33 dantuyhoa, 34 daacon, 35 Peter Zack, 36 Damn Brit, 37 Borno, 38 Kevint, 39 Peter Zack, 40 Timbo13, 41 daacon, 42 daacon, 43 gawan, 44 dantuyhoa, 45 daacon, 46 Rense, 47 daacon, 48 Rense, 49 borno, 50 Rense, 51 daacon, 52 Peter Zack, 53 Peter Zack, 54 dadipentax, 55 David Whiteley, 56 planedriver, 57 daacon,58 Bramela, 59 daacon, 60 gawan, 61 virgilr, 62 daacon, 63 RickL, 64 Peter Zack, 65 Peter Zack, 66 Causey 67 daacon, 68 Bramela, 69 georgeweb, 70 daacon, 71 seacapt, 72 daacon, 73 AOski, 74 Rense 75 eccs19, 76 daacon, 77 xs400, 78 daacon, 79 Bramela, 80 borno, 81 legacyb4, 82 daacon, 83 gawan, 84 Rense, 85 Peter Zack, 86 davef, 87 davef, 88 xjjohnno 89 Bramela , 90 Peter Zack, 91 daacon, 92 stevebrot ,93 reeftool, 94 jezza323, 95 oldschool, 96 Iris, 97 Rense, 98 planedriver, 99 xs400, 100 Peter Zack, 101 Netuser 102 Photolady, 103 Tamia,

Bramela, beautiful captures! Very crisp and a great bokeh.

Tamia, thank you for the comments. The droopy ones looks sad, but I like it.. a unusual shot. The last capture is beautiful, I like how some are in focus, some are out of, aswell as the contrast between leafs and flowers.

Great shots Casil! :O Shame noone wears a helmet these days thou ^^ (well one fella did). I really like the 2nd , the colour and contrast.. both great.

Yesterday evening we took our bikes up the forest and did some "pushbike" downhill.

Nomad · 04-30-2010, 05:37 PM

Great shots all!
I really enjoy the action shots!
Sick bikes Bumbi...
Here are a couple from my Phoenix macro today at lunch....I make quite a site crawling in the grass in front of my office !!

Bramela · 04-30-2010, 05:42 PM - **1 Like**

Some more shots from the very wet morning this morning. Rain has been very appreciated however.

The Last of Their Kind...

K10D, KMZ Helios 44M 58/2

The last of their kind...at least in my yard until next year...

seacapt · 04-30-2010, 08:51 PM

Well I did make a New Year resolution to get out and shoot at least once a week and to post in at least one of the old mini challenge threads weekly . So it's the end of the week .....better late than not at all
Photolady -Thanks for hosting

Has the time frame for POTW been extended or are the dates on the OP in error?

Seems like an error indeed ^^ should've been 18th to 2nd afaik.

Maybe a title-change would be fitting by either the host or a Mod.

bumbibop · 05-01-2010, 11:03 AM

Thank you Nomad, the bikes are great fun

Love the first one of your macros.

Bramela, more of them beautiful wet ones. Great captures!

Stevebrot, classy!

Seacapt, very nice NY resolution .. and a great photo aswell, wonderful lightning.

Johnny, somehow I really like the pic of the fella scratching his neck ^^ so nice light.

I'll take the opportunity to post some few pics from yesterday eve.

Barbecue with my gal and 2 dear friends:

My dear Annika:

And once again:

Apples!

photolady95 · 05-01-2010, 12:04 PM

I had, in the body of the message, April 18th to May 2nd but in the title I had something else and asked Peter to change that because I couldn't change the title after posting the thread. He's the one that extended it and I just changed what I had in the body to match his entry.

water on metal

I discovered today this lens is broken, but that is another thread. At least it still does macros.

(Shot with the Vivitar Series 1 105mm macro.)

metal tree

I have walked past this a thousand times, but yesterday thought it worth a picture.

(Shot with the FA 77mm Limited.)

market roof in evening light

They installed this not so long ago. I think it's the largest such structure in Ireland.
