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.
This area of the backwoods of Van Cortlandt Park got named Cemetery Hill because it was once the burial ground of the Van Cortlandt family. There are many who dread this section of the 102 year old cross country path.
The hills are not the only challenge. As one cross-country coach recalled in a New York Times story, after sending a promising new runner on a 1.5-mile stretch of the course, the runner didn't come back. “We were trying to figure out what happened to him,” the coach said. “He took so long we thought he twisted his ankle. When he finally came out, he said it was so serene he didn’t want to come out.”

A vibrant autumn forest road covered with golden leaves, surrounded by warm seasonal colors. The rich tones of yellow and orange create a peaceful and atmospheric fall scene, capturing the beauty of nature in transition.
A warm and atmospheric autumn view of Veveří Castle, located just outside Brno in the Czech Republic.
Captured during a peaceful walk along the surrounding forest paths, the scene is bathed in deep golden tones — the kind of light that defines early autumn in Central Europe.
The medieval castle rises above the Svratka River valley, framed by glowing fall foliage and soft afternoon light.
A calm, timeless moment at one of South Moravia’s most picturesque historical landmarks.

As usual for cameras of this age, the longer shutter speeds (> 1/10 sec) are delayed as a result of gumming. Also, the small lever at the lens (bottom right) for tripping the shutter does not swing back automatically after release. Obviously, the little spring for this function has weakened and the lever has to be moved by hand each time before cocking the shutter. Otherwise, the shutter cocking lever at the top of the lens will not catch but move back and expose the negative accidentally. Actually, the camera has to get a CLA and a shutter repair by a professional camera service but can absolutely be used with these limitations.
Fortunately, the Zeiss-Opton Tessar of this camera does not suffer from the dreaded "Tessar disease". According to the renowned folder expert Jurgen Kreckel (certo6.com/), one in three Zeiss-Opton Tessars have this malady. During the early years (1950-1953) of the West-German Zeiss company in Oberkochen, specific Tessar lens elements were fixed with glue, which is not stable over time and looks like lens separation. Particularly, the middle lens element is in danger of becoming out of axis preventing uniform focusing across the film area. In contrast, the Carl Zeiss Jena Tessars still were set differently and do not suffer from this disease.
Meanwhile, this camera has been repaired and CLAd by the famed folder expert Jurgen Kreckel (certo6.com/). Jurgen did a great job: the camera is working like new. The contact with him is very pleasing. He did the job rapidly and for a very fair price. The photographers using vintage folders (rather than collecting them) can be thankful for his excellent service!
A stunning Arbutus andrachne, known as the Eastern Strawberry Tree, arches over a shaded forest trail in northern Israel. Its vivid red bark peels naturally, revealing fresh layers beneath — a living sculpture shaped by time. These trees are native to the Mediterranean and are famous for their smooth, crimson skin and twisting, elegant forms.

The picture was taken on a sunny day and the Ektar 100 contributed to capture the scene rather contrasty. To reduce the contrast, the shadows had to be lightened significantly in the post processing.
The colours last weekend were gorgeous, the forest floor looked lovely - just about at the end now.
I have lots of photos to look over from the last couple of weeks.
Here is a nice view of one of the woodland paths that I've captured before...
catching up after a busy weekend :)
The ancient woodlands in Ashridge Park, owned by the UK's National Trust, offer spectacular walks on a November afternoon when the low sun lights up the golden hues of the autumn foliage. This photo shows a path through the forest near the Lady's Walk area.
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.
UK Map references: OSGB36 SP978125

I'm fond of trees and the Sycamore is at the top of my list to photograph. They've always amazed me and many others and have done so for a very long time. I recently posted an interpretation of the Sycamore that was colorful and complex. The funny thing is, except for the fact that this image is B&W the two images are quite similar to me. What I see in this image is exactly how I see a Sycamore and how I wanted to portray it in all its natural wavy complex glory!
Mary, "ForestPath" see her comment below, got me thinking about the Sycamore and the encounters during forest hikes. I thank her for that and for encourging me to look for their meaning, I continue in that endeavor.
Use caution with the Light Box - complexity may be overwhelming. :)

Using the Novar triplet lens with the aperture wide open (f/3.5) results in a distinct softening, which adds to the softening from the limited depth of field. 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 comparison, see a similar photo taken with the same camera but with the lens stopped down (f/16): www.flickr.com/photos/165607631@N07/49877685132/in/datepo...

A tripod is hardly suitable for chasing light in a summer forest, using a 35mm film camera and a 200 mm telephoto lens. To avoid camera shake, high-speed film like Kodak TMax P3200 is mandatory. The pronounced grain did not keep me away from realizing the project.
We were strolling in Filopappou when I noticed this beautiful little road and I had to shoot it... Hope you like it!
