Weekly 111-Photo of the week April 18th thru May 9th 2010.
Posted By: photolady95, 04-25-2010, 09:04 AM

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.

Watching game one of the second round (Canucks vs. Blackhawks).

So far, the Canucks are dominating :-)

You guys/gals sure are posting some awesome photos. TFS.
The only thing I have to add to this week's POTW is a small bird I managed to capture yesterday.

Mockingbird on Bottle brush tree.

Bruce, just catching up on the thread, but that TV tower shot is amazing. Robin, we have exactly those wildflowers here. But if I post them it'll be even more confusing than two of us with the same name in one thread!

I was down in the West End over the weekend watching my wife run her first half-marathon.

Happened to come across a neat statue display just in front of English Bay:



and my daughter today, learning to fly:

I spent this weekend the same as last, watching my daughters crew team race down in Whitney Point, NY for the NY State Collegiate Rowing Championships. Unfortunately, they didn't win this week ans the got beat by 4/10 sec by the boat they beat last week. I thought they won from my vantage point but the judges decision went the other way. I shot the races with an Opteka 500/8 mirror lens, my first time using it to any real extent. The images were a little soft but usable. I was a good 200 yard away, maybe more. They posed for a group shot after getting their medals. The coxswain is smiling as she isn't going swimming this time.

This is the first time I have contributed to this challenge. I spent the weekend studying clouds and hoping for more colour to seep into the landscape here...
