Here is a couple of shots I took up at Lake George NY this past weekend. This was my first attempt with my new 300D... Comments please :)

The first one is kinda cool, although it took me a sec to figure it out.

The eye is naturaly drawn to the left side of the page first (since we read left to right) so flipping the image over, to put the binoculars on the left hand side might give it more impact, and help attract the viewers attention.

Now more than ever we need to be a community, working together and for each other, as photographers, as lovers of photography and as members of POTN.

Thanks :)

The first two were just different focal points overlooking Lake George form the end of the village mall. The day was unbelievably clear.

The lake shot on the bottom was taken at the lake I stay at about 15 minutes north of Lake George, Lake Vanare. That was the day after the first one and it was a tad hazy...so I waited for dusk to try and get some clear shots.

those two shots are some of my favorites, pretty much just because they bring me right back to vacation :)

I like #2, although I would prefer the binoculars to be just a bit brighter and #3 is also great.

I happen to like the second shot the best, since more of the lake is in focus. But all of those shots brings back memories of when my family had a house on Lake George, in the area of Pilot Knob. I used to love the summers I spent time I up there, is was always so peaceful. I wish I was into photography then. If you do go back there, look into hiking up Black Mountain, it is a small hike about an hour, and it has a great view of the lake.

I'm not sure where Pilot Knob is, but really anywhere up there is beautiful. I'm heading back up the second or third week in October for foliage pics. Hopefully I have a couple more lenses with me by then :wink:

Thanks for the comments so far, this was a really fun trip :D
