MSA March/April 2016: "Follow The Path"

[russljames]

Not the path picture I was thinking of trying for at the time, but a chance shot before we headed out. I see this one as both a physical and symbolic path.

The Path

A little something I thought appropriate for this month's MSA. A little path through the...

Thanks for the image! It most assuredly is both a physical and symbolic path.

Thanks for the submission! The image begs for that hill to be climbed.

A little snow, enough for some path pictures. Bronica SQai 80 mm, Ilford FP4/Ilford Multigrade.

Thank you for the images, Bertus! They make me wonder where that tractor went.

Brilliant! - a self-portrait of Bertus following the path! (not to detract from the previous photos, perfect to the theme and perfectly charming, and the comments made).

Sap buckets along the path. Common sight in New England this time of year.

Taken with a Seneca No. 2 Dry Plate Camera. 4x5" glass plate negative hand-coated with a silver gelatin emulsion I made myself. This is a scan of the negative. No touch-ups, this is the raw scan reduced in resolution.

WOW!!! Dry plate.. hand coated.. fascinating... love the texture on the tree and buckets... outstanding... more than two thumbs up...

In case you don't know where the path is, and how to follow, they will mark it for you,
but watch out, you may fall over it.

Used the Horizont's first roll on a few MSA subjects for some interesting perspectives. Left or right?

Decisions, decisions, which way to go? I figured this Horizont might provide some good pictures...

Nice one Jeffrey! I've not heard of a Horizont - have to look that up.
I also want to commend Russ on picking a great topic. Lots of enthusiastic participation already.

Scott, the light, the soft colours of this one are gorgeous.

This one is excellent and fits the theme perfectly.

I'm really liking this topic. Got ideas for lots of spots I want to include.
I got some puzzled looks from passers-by as I squatted at the end of the wheelchair ramp on a cold, damp day to get this shot. Especially as I was in a skirt and "nice" office attire. It was worth it, I think.

Nice capture, and thanks for the submission! I’ve always liked the natural color tones that Portra produces.

Thanks for another image that tempts the viewer to climb to the summit (even if I do fall!).

Nor have I heard of a Horizont, but this image creates a neat feeling of almost walking down into a bowl. And the clouds trailing off give it an added unique perspective. Thanks for another submission!

Thanks for another path picture, Sly! The perspective that you got on this definitely pulls me up the ramp. I'm glad you're enjoying the topic.

I like this one. It makes me wonder where all the paths go and love how that shadow falls.

Not eligible, because it was my entry for the MSA in December 2009 - the End of the Path.
