Thanks! I bracketed and made four different exposures. This is one of those.

Great photo! And development/exposure: can’t remember having seen such deep blacks with a Fomapan film

I am appreciating your composition, Tony. Instead of being a stable centered image with ones eye always sliding comfortably down the path (demonstrated by cropping off some of the left to make it a square image). My eyes always have to deal with the trees on the left before being able to go down the path. It creates a little visual tension and makes the image more active and interesting. My eyes get drawn down the path, but are constantly returning to the white trees on the left before going down the path again.

Love this image Tony...how the path is at once inviting and yet becoming mysterious in its eventual occlusion near what the perspective hints at as a horizon. Makes me want to put on my walking shoes!

Thank you John, it’s a great place for a walk!

Near Hampton

From earlier this week. I used a 23A medium red filter to balance out the tone in the sky. This is a nice time of year to visit areas like this: The soil (this is essentially floodplain near the upper Batsto River) is drier, and mercifully, there are no bugs.
