Well, I guess I've got some more cliche rubbish to add to the pile.
This is the same setup as my last, but shot on Ektar 100, which has worked better for me in this high contrast situation.

Lovely tones and well done with the contrast. If cliche, even Mozart had to practice his scales...

I'm all for breaking the mould, but I see personal styles more than cliche. Although in general landscapes are easy cliche, I see more cliche in the still life category of photography. Still life has a long and health history in the art world, so it's apparently not written off as cliche, but it's not my thing generally, but that's how I see it. Sometimes certain things like Weston's images of vegetables transcend my prejudice about the category for example.Quote:

They can through his landscape photography. He's created a style to be emulated. Sometime after he's dead, people will criticize students for copying the Cowboy Trail style. Then call it cliche if you want.

I think that I loaded the film incorrectly and managed to fog the film.
I think you are right, this did capture the light and contrast much better. On the first one I thought to crop the sky completely out and just focus on the water. Here it all works much better.Quote:
