Photo of the Week - June 15

[duane_mills]

<p>Hi All, it seems the POTW; a once very active Pentax thread, is fading to possibly become a fond but distant memory. Yes our lives have all become much busier; that reason alone is cause to pause and take a few moments to connect with photography each week as creative outlet and let others see the world through your eyes. If the eyes are windows to the soul; what is a photograph to the photographer? (I read that somewhere on Photo.net a long time ago and have never forgotten - but can't remember who penned it). Here's my contribution for the week after going for a walk this morning...</p>

Hi Y'all.

 

I'd love to contribute, but my tablet limits what I can do on the road. As I think I mentioned, I am traveling and hope

there are still some friendly faces when I get back.

 

Besides, its quality, not quantity, that maters.

 

Cheers,

 

Doug

<p>Terrific photos Bob and Guus. The panorama is amazing. That is also a great seagull shot. I look forward to your next photo post Doug.<br>

Cheers.</p>

<p>Bob: Wow, I love what the K10D can do (except in low light!). I really like #2; #3 I can't get to open up to more than about 1x6 inches.<br>

Guus, I really like the hummingbird shot--it is unusual to see such good shots with them feeding at a flower rather than at a sugar-water feeder. The gulls and hawk are also excellent; the former for the stark composition, and the latter for the sense of motion.<br>

<p>Wow Denise, love the moody and mellow sky in both. Thanks for posting.</p>
