Swiss Cows in the Countryside

Not isolated to the Zermatt mountains I made new friends and contacts all across Switzerland. Near Gstaad I had a fun encounter with these inquisitive cows enjoying the autumn sun in their meadow. Smiling wasn’t an option. Perhaps I shouldn’t have asked them to say fromage.

  • LOL...it's been a long time since a photo has made me laugh. Thanks for that.
  • Jim
    Thanks everyone for the great comments. Glad to see this struck a nerve. The cows I photographed on this trip had a lot of personality to them. Surprising a bovine could have personality.

    @Lane Indeed I made good use of the fisheye lens :)

    @Jan just wait for some of the others. This isn't the only tongue photo

    @Courtney as previously mentioned this was taken with a fisheye lens. Fisheye lenses have a very short minimum focal distance. The closer the lens to the subject the greater the distortion.

    @Rebecca no spit, but it was close LOL

    @Geir Cows can equal photographic comedy. Their big head can be comically captured so easily.

    @Jollence same... I had a blast working with it. Thanks for the comment.

    @mjspringett and @Chris Thanks :)
  • Haha I love it! Big tounge and cow nose in your face! Surprisingly sharp detail close up too, and nice color.
  • What a great sense of humor, great comedic shot
  • Amazing shot Jim, I like what the fisheye lens can do.
  • HIlarious!
    I'll always look at cows in a different way after this ;-)
  • Good luck cleaning the spit off your lens! This is priceless!
    Glad you are home safe and sound - keep the images coming!
  • I'm curious to know how you took this pic! I like it.
  • Jan
    This is priceless. The fisheye perspective and close-up really works great, you can almost feel that tongue touching you :-)
  • nice to see the fisheye made it to switzerland and saw some action. :)
