The subject of the competition this week is abstract photography.

The usual weekly competition rules apply. Entries must be shot using Pentax cameras, with Samsung variants of some DSLR models and Ricoh GR also included.

This is the place for discussion of the competition, as needed.

Ah! Thanks Dr. Just spent some time checking the phenomenon out. Astonishing. Never seen anything quite like that...although there are snaps on the net of an event in Bingley last year

Just fascinating, and v. lucky to witness.

Extraordinary. The first almost looks like some of the images from American prairie skies during major continental storm cells.

Thanks for posting and explaining.

Lucky lucky lucky man

Which team, Carl?

I think folks have not yet twigged his massive this event could be. If the weather forecast is good, the crowds heading for the key locations and climbs (Holme Moss etc) are going to be just huge.

Worth planning access very carefully. They're closing roads from Glossop up to the race VERY early. We'll probably have a long walk/ bike ride up to the Woodhead to catch the action

Welcome James!

Sounds like your exactly where I was three years ago - getting back into proper photography after a long hiatus. I've no regrets going with Pentax, and have learnt a huge amount from simply hanging round this site

#1 and #3 for me.

In #1 the offset vertical line up the building adds a suitably jarring/assymetrical note, and of course the plane is superbly positioned.

#3 because of the textures of the sheeting captured so well. And because it's The Crimson Permanent Assurance. Obviously.
