Photographer’s Note

Photo taken from Prospect Mountain in Lake George, located on the western edge of Lake George, the viewers made me smile when I saw them from a lower point of view.

Prospect Mountains offers trails and spectacular views, Spectacular views of Vermont's Green Mountains, New Hampshire's White Mountains, New York's Adirondack High Peaks and, on a very clear day, the Laurentians of Canada.

I'll probably show a view on Lake George Next time, couldn't make a spectacular view though.

Bonjour Pierre,
Très bien vu! Je me demande bien ce qu'ils se racontent! Pour l'originalité de la photo, en échange je vous donne un petit bonhomme souriant aussi. Vert, celui-là! :D
Claire

Hey Pierre. That's too funny! You show a great eye here. It's almost like they designed them to look like faces. Nice catch Pierre.

Bonjour Pierre,
Very well seen! Makes me want to use these binoculars...if they already smile about the view behind the "Prospect Mountain".

Bonjour, Pierre.
Le sujet est effectivement amusant et très bien trouvé ! Ceci dit, avec le paysage qu'ils doivent admirer en permanence, j'imagine qu'ils ont des raisons d'avoir le sourire !
Merci du partage pour ce drôle de cliché !

Spoony (3539) 2005-09-20 5:39

Here, I like the idea...very creatie! Final result is very interesting.
Perspective and the way you composed it are great. Well seen!

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-09-20 6:00

Ah, c'est vraiment marrant, un joli coup d'oeil et une bonne photo.
Avec la perspective et les contrastes sur le métal, je vois même un male et une femelle, peut être un élevage canadien pour la reproduction, cela coute moins cher que de les contruire.
La compo est bien batie, avec un positionnement excellent.
Belle image

Salut Pierre,

Une photo simple mais originale. Je serais curieux de voir la scène qu'offrent ces jumelles. Bon oeuil pour avoir vu ce coté amusant.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2005-09-20 10:40

very nice work here, I like the metal objects here, they look as if they are smiling, the composiiton and the dof is very nice, well done

jhm (82201) 2005-09-20 11:53

Hi Oierre,
Indeed, the two viewers exactly made a smile, the two silhouettes give a nice contrast against the blue sky too.
Very nice done!
John.

pamastro (7213) 2005-09-20 13:36

They are like two people up there looking out from the top of the peak. I like the way you composed it placing them to both get the direction of the viewers out over the edge and let the mind imagine what is over there. And also, as the person like figures that they are, as though they have just climbed up and over the peak into your view and are now taking a breath and looking around. The DOF is nice for the sky but seems a bit shallow, perhaps, for capturing both viewers crisply. It seems the right one is crisp but the left one is a bit softer. Not too much, though, and it still works well in showing us these two happy climbers.

nwoehnl (118) 2005-09-20 13:36

Hi Pierre. This was very well seen, from that particular perspective they indeed look like huge silver smileys mounted on the rock's edge for no particular reason. Good work with the contrasts and a very smooth presentation overall.

dsidwell (9745) 2005-09-20 21:29

Haha, they look like aliens from outer space, Pierre! Nicely seen, and the composition is just right--lots of negative space to imply thoughts!

ChrisJ (70019) 2005-09-21 3:47

Bonjour Pierre

I like the simple graphism, of the 2 viewers against the blue sky. The apparent smiles are a nice touch. Bon travail!

Bonjour Pierre,

On dirait deux télétubies qui se racontent l'horizon.
C'est très bien cadré et la faible PDC les mets bien en valeur. Joli coup d'oeil.

jemaflor (39211) 2005-09-24 4:39

Salut Pierre,
Bon sens de l'observation et bon cadrage pour metter en valeur ces extraterrestres ... marrant !

papagolf21 (56159) 2005-09-24 5:02

Bonjour Pierre,
C'est très vrai que ces jumelles fixes nous donnent l'impression de sourire, il faut dire que le paysage s'y prête. L'on dirait deux extra terrestres venus d'un autre monde contemplant le paysage.
Bien fait et bien vu .
Amitiés.
Philippe

dominique (11403) 2005-09-24 14:45

cam (8880) 2005-09-25 11:59

Salut Pierre
Petit comique va
On dirait 2 extraterrestres déguisés qui nous surveillent discrètement.
Bravo pour ton coup d'oeil.

Hi Pierre;

Good eye you have spotting this one mate! A very simple composition on something which I honestly probably would have missed.

Cheers Pierre!

Stepan (27175) 2005-10-15 9:37

C'est tout simplement génial...
On dirait des petits robots partis à la campagne et qui s'éclatent !
En plus, tu as une sorte de lumière de studio qui donne un aspect un peu artificiel très beau.
Vraiment, bravo.
Stéphane

hyasar (7317) 2005-11-10 14:50

Hi Pierre,

great idea to capture viewers as if two smiling face.

thanks for your sharing,
Hakan

john_c (24635) 2005-12-10 12:02

Hi Pierre,
A clever and humorous shot. I like the low angle view here which ensures higher impact of the two smileys. Great incongruity here with these two manmade structures standing amidst stark wilderness rock and the open sky. A very effective shot. Well done.
John

GLEM (2998) 2006-10-19 6:53

bonjour Pierre,
votre galerie est impressionnante, mais celle-ci me plaît car tout est dans l'expression et dans le message.
Bravo pour ce coup d'oeil.
