Welcome to POTW #50, 2/15/09 - 3/1/09

Rules as before:

1) No theme just your favorite stuff.
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 is fine, film, P&S, DSLR (or Samsung DSLR)
4) Date : Sunday 2/15/09 - Sunday 3/1/09
5) Enter anything you shot last week or this current week until the thread closes.

Shot of a small visitor to the garden today. This is not a Sepia shot, but was very much this colour except I had to brighten a little and add a little contrast.
Not a great shot, however,I was rather pleased considering how I had to rush the shot to catch him. Cropped considerably as well.

• Interesting instrument Rolls! Looks like a shamane derum or something?
• That's funny Frank! Looks like you were pointing out to the protected window you have just escaped though
• Bruce I think that's a great shot, that creature sure fits to it's environment really nicely!

[Jasvox]

These come from various locations at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The church is controlled by the Greek Orthodox, Catholic, Armenian Apostolic, Coptic Orthodox, Syriac Orthodox and Ethiopian Orthodox Churches is a bit of a peaceful power struggle. I took these while wandering around up near the Ethiopian area and Coptic Monastery area of the Church grounds.

Jim & Georg - you captured the start and the end of the day very nice! Those colours are a surprise again and again, and one gets never tired looking at it!
Rollsup - the perspective in that beautifull picture add to it substantially!
Frank - great image, nice not to see you taking it!
Bruce - this is truly wonderfull. Those colours match in a very special way!
Jason - what a nice place, and you captured it very well!

Don't have to add anything, it's a kind of photography poor week for me

[Bramela]

Thanks Georg & Rense. My main problem with it myself was the focus. It just didnt seem to hit the spot.
Thanks again

[borno]

Thanks for hosting Rense,
Just a couple quick ones, I have been real busy and the stupid printer is giving me a fit

this am:



and a couple eagle pics:



here he got a crow, you can see his feet sticking out:

[Bramela]

Jasvox : I am impressed with your shots. A real atmosphere about the old buildings.

Borno : great shots of the eagle, but personally particularly like the sunset with the ducks. Those ducks make that shot.

Both well done!

[borno]

Thanks Bruce,
I couldn't decide if I like the sun in it or not. I hope that little bit of ice in the water will be it for a long time.
