Besides attempting to capture the autumn colors of my local forest, I wanted to test my recently acquired Rollei 35 and also the look of Kodak Gold in dull weather.

Just wanted to further explore the different look of analog versus digital photos of the same scenery. The pictures were taken on different days but under quite similar light conditions (about the same daytime in sunny weather). For the digital shots I used the Sigma DP2M camera with its foveon sensor, delivering extraordinary sharpness and micro contrast. For the analog shots I used one of my cameras with the largest negative format available to me: my Agfa Record III 6x9 cm format folder, which recently has been CLA’d by Hans Klinkhamer (Netherlands). Hans achieved his training as camera repairer at the Agfa Camerawerke Munich and did a very good job. At f-stops smaller than 5.6 the image quality of this Apotar triplet is indistinguishable from the renowned Tessar-type Solinar of my second Agfa Record folder.
The digital b&w veriants can be seen here:

Personally, I prefer the film version because of its more pictorial look, resulting from the softer contours of the leaves and the fine grain, accentuating the texture of the barks. For me, the sharpness of the folder lens is absolutely sufficient even for larger prints. In my opinion, the highly resolved pictures of modern digital cameras tend to produce some kind of stimulus satiation. In many cases, the viewer doesn’t want to see so many details but only the decisive elements of a composition. Otherwise, using 35mm film cameras or even pin hole cameras would make no sense anymore.
Just reminding myself how beautiful and DRY the weather was just a month ago, will it ever stop raining?
Photographed in a mature pine forest near the beach in Tentsmuir Forest, just north of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland.
Here is an image I always liked, of an autumn path just starting up into the woods, at a very fine Nature Preserve here in Cincinnati, which is, strangely, called "California Nature Preserve".
You see the original below, and I do love the original. But I wanted to try editing it, for fun, and this is what I came up with, after playing with Topaz Adjust, levels, and framing.
Got the first 16 sq ft painted today!
Managed to comment on your photos!
But no camera time. Sigh.

This hiking trail near Holzerath follows the route of a Roman road.
Diabolic Stone near Lutom (picnic place with teaching points). The largest boulder in Sierakow Landscape Park with a circumference of 11 m is located about 1 km from the village Lutom. Have a good look for it! Beside a wayside shrine of Our Lady in Lutom you have to turn to the north into the cart-track towards Lesionki, to deviate from an asphalt road. You can go back to Sierakow by way of the black walking trail: Lutom - Diabolic Stone (in the forest) - Ryzyn - Lesionki - Sierakow.
There is nothing I love more than taking myself off for a lovley walk in the British Countryside, this was taken this morning near Faygate, West Sussex.
We took a short walk in the low hills near the villageof Varbó on a November day.
