<p>Seems as if Classical beauty was calling to me today. All pictures taken in Central Park, NYC.<br>

First</p><div></div>

<p>Second</p><div></div>

<p>Last one seemed to come from a Greek or Roman temple.</p><div></div>

<p>I got my personal record with the amount of photos I took this week. Some commercial night shots of Zurich for a local tourist organisation, a soap bubble artistic show and my usual snaps and since I'm dogsitting again I can introduce you to "womanizer" Stitch as well :-)</p><div></div>

<p>a beautiful and romantic show with soap bubbles</p><div></div>

<p>this weekend in town, a lunapark</p><div></div>

<p><strong>Morraine Lake</strong>, Alberta, Canada once depicted on the Canadian $20 dollar bill is my subject for this POW. 1) <em>Pentax K10D / Tamron 18-250mm @ fl 18.0 / f 11.0 / 1/350 sec / ISO 560 </em><a href="http://s407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-25-11/?action=view&current=_IGP54413.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-25-11/_IGP54413.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a> <em>2) Pentax K10D / Tamron 18-250mm @ fl 18.0 / f 11.0 / 1/350 sec / ISO 400 </em><a href="http://s407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-25-11/?action=view&current=_IGP57562.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-25-11/_IGP57562.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a> <em>3) Pentax K10D / Tamron 18-250mm @ fl 85.0 / f 11.0 / 1/1500 sec / ISO 800 </em><a href="http://s407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-25-11/?action=view&current=_IGP57812.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/POW%209-25-11/_IGP57812.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a> (Click for larger view)</p>

<p>Since everyone had to hear me moan about the 50mm Macro that I acquired, here is what I was able to produce with it. <br>

<strong>Introducing...The Three Flowers</strong><br>

#1 - Yellow<br>

<p>#2 - Red and White/Yellow<br>

<p>#3 - Red as Satin<br>

<p>and one shot on an old Konica Minolta Alpha 7 with a Minolta 50mm f2.8 for comparison, indulge me...I was inspired by last weeks car shots.<br>

<p>This is not from a digital camera, nevertheless, from a Pentax...<br>

<p>I was away at a large meeting outside Madison, WI last week, and took my K7 along. First, a walking introduction:</p>

<p>Not from this week, but edited this week.</p><div></div>

<p>Some early fall colour from a visit to a farm this weekend. Both with the K200D and 18-55 kit lens. The close-up is a PS Elements exposure merge of 3 shots, due to high contrast from the bright sunlight.</p><div></div>

<p>And another...</p><div></div>

<p>My second one.</p><div></div>

<p>I finally got to do some shooting this weekend at an International Festival at UNCC, a couple shots from there. Also been working on product photography so I included some camera porn.</p><div></div>

<p>Another from the fest</p><div></div>

<p>Now some camera porn. Forgot to add, all taken with Pentax K20d and Sigma 28-70 3.5 zoom lens.</p><div></div>
