Across the Lake

Gallery: LandscapePosted December 15, 2011151 views9 comments

Trying to get back in the swing of posting and commenting. I can't help but notice a lot of new faces here and lots of familiar ones on other sites, mostly social media like G+ and others. Only so many hours in a day I guess...

I've got a serious backlog of images to work through from this summer and fall in the northeast. This is looking across Lake Champlain at the Adirondacks from the Vermont side. I love Vermont but I've often heard people say the best part of Vermont is the view of the Adirondacks

As always thanks for looking.

Real nice depth to the image. I am liking the pattern of land in the foreground combined with the receding ridges and sky. Works well in B&W too.

I thought those mountains looked familiar

Nice shot Kurt, the b&w conversion works really well here. I wish there was just a little more room at the bottom, but this may not have been possible...it's nice to see something close to my neck of the woods!

The layers are wonderful Kurt, and this works great in B&W. Used to love that view across the lake when I visited Burlington!

Looks like the essence of serenity Kurt. Nice, very nice.

Wonderful sky! but most of all I love those layers taking you all the way to the clouds. Very nice Kurt!

Wonderful capture of light, Kurt. Love the layered mountains and clouds. Nice b&w conversion and toning.

Awesome! Love the ridge lines and the reflection on the lake. Might consider cropping a little off the top to a more panoramic aspect ratio.

Good job on the B&W processing. You could give the clouds a more dramatic feel with more contrast but I think this is better, more subtle. I agree with Phillip's comment on cropping some of the sky.

I really like the transitions and layers in the mountains, also the way the dark mountains contrast with the soft sky
