MSA March/April, 2021-“Changing Season”

[russljames]

Kind of picks up on changes...


We Just Cannot Wait by Mark Wyatt, on Flickr

It most certainly does convey that a new season is about to arrive.

A wonderful capture! Thanks for the submission.

What is a capture? Are you using bear traps? If so you really need a license.

Lots of nice stuff - I 'll have a darkroom weekend soon !

I'm planning to load this same film today into my Leica IIIb for pics of new, green leaves, that are now abundant in our local park. What filter do you like to use with this film?

A 720nm filter (e.g., R72).

A wander last week through the forest in Campbell Valley Regional Park.
All the new green on the foliage is nicely set off against the visible snippets of an intensely blue Spring sky:

As we go fully into spring, even in the heart of the forest we can see signs of bursting new life

Greetings!

Just a reminder that we have one week left on this MSA, and for you to submit images that show a “changing season”.

Cheers!

I love the blend of colors in this scene, Matt! What film were you using?

Portra 160 that is past the "Expose Before" date, but refrigerator stored since purchased new and of recent production from a retail source.

Greetings, again, everyone,

A last reminder that today is the final day to submit entries for this MSA. I hope to see more added into the current mix before I make my selection tomorrow.

Cheers!

Late but it's still April here in the UK!
I've been on a 'back to basics' trip the last few weeks and experimenting with photograms.
The dandelions are back!

Really nice idea, Tony. From flower to seed dispersal. Thanks for the submission!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the “Changing Season” MSA theme. Choosing a winning entry was not an easy task, as every submission communicated the idea of the theme brilliantly.

One image however stood-out for me, as it seemed to visually put change of season into action. That image is Tony’s dandelion photogram.

Congratulations to Tony (ajmiller), you get the honor of choosing the next theme for the May/June MSA!

Russ

 

[MattKing]

Well done Tony!
And thanks Russ for the great theme, and excellent judging.

 

[ajmiller]

Thanks Russ and Matt and to everyone who posted such great images. The theme for the next MSA across May and June is "Family Heirloom".

 

[macfred]

Congrats Tony; well deserved winner ! And a great theme for the next MSA.
