Sunlight streams through the dense canopy of a forest, illuminating a winding path covered in moss and fallen leaves. The dappled light creates a magical atmosphere, highlighting the vibrant green of the moss-covered rocks and the textured bark of the ancient trees. This serene woodland scene invites exploration, promising a tranquil escape into nature's embrace.

During a camping trip at Spring Mill State Park, I walked this trail around a beautiful lake. It was incredibly peaceful and relaxing
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.”

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!
These new houses in the development don’t look quite finished yet. The graves (in the Miccosukee Greenway) are from 1919 through 1947. The new residents will have these old Black residents close by in their backyard. A greenway backtrail leads straight up the middle of this panorama. iPhone 8+ photo.
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.

"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.

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.
Ein Waldspaziergang im November zeigt den Übergang in der Natur. Die gelben und orangefarbenen Blätter verschwinden langsam. Ich bin still auf den Waldwegen rund ums Haslimoos unterwegs.
A forest walk in November reveals the seasonal transition in nature. The yellow and orange leaves slowly disappear. I walk quietly along the forest paths around the Haslimoos.

We were strolling in Filopappou when I noticed this beautiful little road and I had to shoot it... Hope you like it!
Camera: Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta III (531/16)

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...

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.
Die Morgensonne sucht sich einen Weg durch den Haslimoos-Wald und setzt Lichttupfer auf Stämme und Äste der verschneiten Bäume
The morning sun finds its way through the Haslimoos forest, casting splashes of light on the trunks and branches of the snow-covered trees..
A Combination of Spring and Autumn - Calm Nature Scene - Tayside Scotland - I took this shot earlier today - the carpet of autumn leaves and the fresh green of spring in the trees drew my eye - after I had taken this shot I just stood and listened - to the sound of nothing - you could hear a pin drop
One of the least visited places in my favorite botanical garden, the gazebo along the forest path at Wave Hill in the Bronx.

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. :)
Took a 25km bicycle/walk today on some forestpath outside of Karlstad, nature truly begins to awaken from the winter hibernation!

Due to the high contrast in the dark forest on a summy day, in the digital capture of this scene the highlights at the end of the forest track are completely blown-out: www.flickr.com/photos/165607631@N07/50171106667/in/datepo...
This analog version captured on Kodak Portra 400 shows some more details in the highlights, however, they are blurred as a result of the aperture wide open.
