POTW... 7 (14th - 27th)
Posted By: mtnbearhug, 04-20-2008, 09:42 PM

Greetings everyone!!! Bruce has asked me to host this weeks POTW!!.. so I honorably accepted!! Thanks Bruce!!

The pictures for this weeks POTW should have been taken from April 14th to April 27th.
The past POTW have been Wonderful!!! Lets keep up the good work!!!!

The rules for the POTW are simple:

1) No theme just your favourite stuff.
2) lets keep it to about 4-6 images 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) Runs for 7 days April 21st to April 27th
5)Enter anything you shot last week or this current week until the thread closes.

Next Sunday I'll pick a host for the next week from the entries.

Here are my favorites to get us started...

One of my Macro's!!!!


A couple from Geocaching... These are of an old electric fence relay switch... It was really cool!! It hasn't been used for almost 30 years....




Enjoy !!!! Kim

I'd like to thank you for telling me about this Kim, it's a good idea.

And I of course love all of Kim's work, and her macro is amazing

That's a nice photo as well Rosemary

I posted this image a few days ago, it's a few feet from my doorstep

I like the way the lens I used gives it that Old Film look

If you meant my bird pic, thanks a lot! I was lucky to have him land just a three meters away from my spot. Lucky also to manage to shoot that step he's just about taking...

Nice work all.
Love the entries.
Mine is from the beautiful Lake Annand in Toowoomba, a common venue for weddings and family picnics.

Thanks Stu It is a freak storm but a loooooooooong one - there was no snow anywhere on Thursday then 4 straight days of snow

As usual I plan to be in Vernon on July long weekend. Funtastic Tournament maybe we can hook up for coffee or a drink if you around then. Fly in Friday, Fly out Monday - not sure on the complete schedule yet, but if you are around and want to hook up let me know

You could probaly get work there if you are iterested. Almost 300 teams , Beer Gradens , photo opps galore! I know they have a few photographers at the diamonds taking picutures and selling them - not sure if it is freelance or they make arrangements witht he funtastic organization. Welcome to the 2008 Funtastic Summer Festival I imagine you are very familiar with this event
