No clouds here, either – just clear skies above, slushy July snows beneath.
I didn’t reach the summit, but I took a shot before descending (Cascade range, Washington).
A super-contrasty scene – and since I wanted all the evergreens to show, I exposed them for zones 3, 4 and 5. This of course came with a price – it forced the snow into zones 8 and 9. To save the highlights, I developed the film in a very dilute concentration of HC-110 – about 1+123 direct from concentrate (not stock), and developed for 19 minutes in 68° F, w/ a little bit of agitation every few minutes. The compensation effects came to my rescue, saving more sunny snow than I thought possible.

I also shot this on Ektar 100 and am hoping that I'll keep better shadow detail on the top section. I'll get to scanning that soon.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Nice image, Alejandro. Clean and simple.
Like others, I've been inspired by Jim K's Cowboy Trail cloudscapes. I set out a couple months ago to try to emulate him, and the attached is the best I could do. We grow potatoes (e or no e? Call me Dan Quayle!) around here, more than cows. The light line across the bottom of the frame is spray from irrigation sprinklers. The rock formation is called the Peninsula, for reasons unknown to me. I'd speculate that it was a peninsula into Tule Lake before the Army Corp of Engineers drained the area for farmland. It is near Newell, CA.
Any critiques or suggestions for improving the image would be welcome!

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Gentlemen,
Great images everyone, and thank you for comments too... :)
Attached is an image that I captured several years ago, and an image that I probably showed before within the sunset thread, but it was an image that reminded me of an incident, and a comment about looking up to the clouds. I truly believe that when the opportunity presents itself, any expansive, interesting, and well-balanced foreground should add value to an image, such as John's recent image, and if the clouds add more value than a cluttered foreground, I do point my camera to the clouds, where I try to minimize my image's support with a clean simple baseline.
As for the incident, my heart was broken that very day by a beautiful, but tenacious Alberta Black Widow, so I stopped along her rural road on my way home to give my mind and body a brief reprieve, and to try to capture this image. The developing scene was more interesting, compared to my fretting about her terrible bite, and I also decided to see whether she had any siblings hiding in the shrubbery, so I could possibly step on them. Actually, the more I think about it, her image happens to be well placed beside several Webster's Collegiate dictionary definitions. Damn, I how I love those free spirited cowgirls add new meaning to your life, during Stampede...
It’s funny how an image can trigger a dormant memory cell or two...
I have not added this to my Cowboy Trail series, but I might.

That is the nicest photograph I have seen in this thread for some time. The whites on the barn roof and the verandah give it some zing. I bet the owners of the farm would love to have a copy.
This thread is pure cliche, thank you for breaking the mould. If you managed to delete this thread, accidentaly, most of the lost photographs could be replaced by posting just one photograph.

I dunno, David – if I complained about clichés, I wouldn’t rhapsodize about a barn in the country. ;) Me, I like & learn from many of the clichés here, and whether my images are original or just “typical,” in each case I try to return the favor by providing a useful insight, or sharing a fun narrative (like Jim’s Alberta Black Widow). I think the widespread sharing here invites many more people than the clichés keep away.

Well said, Heroique.
Originality is important, but it can be stultifying in its own way. Particularly as defined by young folks today where it seems to be more about carefully messed up hairdo's than anything else.
The bottom line, though, is that its easy to critique the work of others when you're not posting any of your own. Let's see it, David.
