Let me be this week's first with this splendid tradition of POW.

these are some results of a bicycle-ride with the family (along places I had

spotted before).

The first on was made in the spirit of a dutch painter called Alma Tadema

OMG...LOVE the tulip! You need to frame it like you did the last one (and sign it!) Others are great too! These are very different from what we normally see from you! I would not have said, "Those are O Shiva's" like I might have before. You did a great job on all of them and it's great to see your range as a photographer! Thanks for starting the thread!

O Shiva. The Tulip is a stunning shot. Did you dig a hole in the ground? Love the colour and light as well as the grain. The other 2 are great as well. I think you might need to clean the sensor tho, Almost directly above the left side of the tulip there appears to be 3 dust spots.

Here are my two for the week. Both with the Sigma 10-20mm. I somewhat like the

distortion of the first at 10mm only because my son purposely stuck his head in

my shot...

This is called suicide bridge for obvious reasons. They have now added a 6 foot

tall bridge. Perhaps some of you recognize it from Movies and such. It is

located in Pasadena...

<p>Seems like I end up liking the abstract shots I get the most, so this is this week's fave:</p>

<p>Love the strong tones in the stuff you posted O Shiva.</p>

 

<p>Javier, the distortion on that first shot is wild. I've been thinking of getting a fisheye or the 12-24 and that look strengthens the LBA.</p>

I had a great week mostly with the Pentax K10D and the Tamron 90mm and a

bargain Sigma 24mm and made quite a lot and different photos.

1 for the soccer fans, I for the cat lovers and one showing my

personal taste from the flea market for you. Greetings, Markus<div>00Pq35-49425884.jpg.3ef9b3728fc30c9ced4f8cc6e478d865.jpg</div>

Great shots from all as usual. O Shiva - wow, amazing surreal images, I'm torn between the first and second, can't decide which I like better, both are incredibly eye catching. Javier - kudos on the second bridge shot, you really go out looking for a unique perspective. Markus - terrific capture on the cat, seems like he's right in the room with anyone viewing the photo. Dave - the water is indeed interesting. Adam - you've recorded the timeless moments of a memorable event in depth and spirit, excellent work.

 

Another week of RDF (rain, drizzle, fog) here on this weather beaten rock in the North Atlantic. My K100D Super isn't sealed so it's limits the possibilities. This weeks shots were taken through open doors and windows. Here's the first...<div>00PqBo-49463584.jpg.7f10fba5d57311c18c088959c2417d00.jpg</div>

Great stuff again folks.

<P>

I have been really busy. But I have a shot of a colleague that I like. The cost of coming to my office to use my phone is that you get a picture taken!

Another shot I like was a failed group shot of some colleagues. The flash overexposed the shot, and the b&w tweaking I did to try and save it was met with much enthusiasm.
