Another approach for producing a soft picture look, this time by using a pre-war Ikonta fitted with an uncoated triplet lens and adjusting the aperture rather wide open. The same scenery was captured previously using different cameras and films. For better comparison, the picture series were taken under quite similar light conditions (about the same daytime in sunny weather), but on different days.
Using the Novar triplet lens with the aperture quite open (f/5.6) results in a distinct softening, which adds to the softening from the limited depth of field. Note that the depth of field of the 10,5 cm lens for 6x9 format is even narrower than that of the 75 mm lens for the 6x6 format. Also, the Ilford HP5 helps, because this film is less contrasty than for example Kodak Tri-X. Possibly, some lens haze and camera shake may have increased the softening.
Although I enjoy the fine detail of the stopped down Novars or Tessars, distinct sharpness is not essential for many photos and therefore is not a must for me. Lower sharpness and contrast make photos softer and more pictorial or painterly. For some reason I like this dreamy look. Using a pin hole camera would be an alternative for producing a softer look and a similar fall-off in sharpness from the center to the boarders.
Known as the "Bridal Trail" this path forms a loop around the northwest forest of Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx.

Sunny Sunday, a walk yesterday in the New York Botanical Garden forest. With full sun on the ground, the woodland wildflowers are getting their turn. The shrub level are just starting to bud out for their chance to shine while the tall trees are still enjoying their winter nap.
A stunning autumn forest filled with vibrant yellow, orange, and red leaves. The warm sunlight highlights the beauty of nature and the peaceful atmosphere of the season — a perfect example of fall’s golden charm.
This image was taken at the 'Hallerbos' near Brussels
and can be simply translated to 'The forest of Halle'.
This forest is known for its bluebell carpet which covers the forest floor for only a few weeks each spring.
If you are in or near Brussels during this period make sure to have it on your "to do" list.
I had the most wonderful time shooting it :-)
Thank you all for your support, comments and faves!

"Forest Path Blur ICM" by Patti Deters. A beautiful forest path is made a bit more mysterious and interesting with intentional camera movement that creates a hazy blur and gives the scene a fantasy feeling.

Ach nein, ach nein, nicht traurig sein!
mit traurig sein ist nichts getan!
auf helle Augen kommt es an
und auf Vertrauen zu dir selbst,
daß du zwingst und daß du hältst!
Das Leben ist nun mal, wies ist!
heute hott und morgen hü!
Aber ein trübes Gesicht
Tränen und Grollen
erringt es nicht!
nur fröhliches Wollen,
Zuversicht und mit Lachen,
was zum Ziel trägt
und in der Ferne strahlt das Licht
Ich hab dich lieb!
Vergiss das nicht!

Credits to my dear friend tjEvans1 for the Grand Cayman "mastic trail" photograph.
I recently visited family in Norfolk and while down there, I went for a walk just outside Cromer where I saw this scene. I didn't have my DSLR with me, but I managed to get this on my phone
Harry Potter Tree, Ashridge Park, Hertfordshire, UK
This gigantic pollarded beech tree was featured in the Harry Potter 'Goblet of Fire' film. It is the largest, most magnificient and oldest tree in this 5000 acre forest.
Details: Ashridge offers particularly splendid autumn views of very ancient, pollarded beech trees in the Frithsden Beeches area. Another great place is 'Lady's Walk' - between Berkhamsted Common and Thunderdell Wood - off the B4506 towards Woodyard Cottages.
Location: The National Trust’s Ashridge Park visitors centre is located at Moneybury Hill, Ringshall, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, HP4 1LT, England, UK.

This photo was taken in the Frithsden Beeches area. The geo co-ordinate machine tags attached to this picture give the location of this area. However, you will need to do some exploring to find the exact location of this particular tree. Enjoy!

There are not many places I know of that are as inviting as a forest dominated by Pinus strobus. The ground is cushioned for your tired feet. During winter the protection from the biting wind warms things up. While on the warmest days the darkness and humidity sucking needles makes the walk seem air conditioned, And it always smells like your Mother just gave the place a good scrubbing down.
