the lure of the lake

(For the Nature Conservancy group:
Subject: Lake Crescent
Location: Olympic Peninsula, Washington State
Photographer: Danielle Hughson)

The color of the water at Crescent Lake in Washington is unbelievable - the only time I've seen blues like it was at St. Mary's Lake in Glacier National Park.

Pinhole did a swell job with this scene, I think. This exposure was only a few seconds long, but it captured the gold rocks, the teal and blue water, and the vivid sky that day quite nicely.

I have to agree with Buzzymt, and hopefully he will forgive for upstaging him with the use of more exclamation points....but damn!!!!!!!!!! that is a pretty photo!!!! I really like the warm colors of the foreground contrasted with the cool blues of the lake and sky. This is pinhole at its best. Well done indeed!

Hurricane Season says:

Blessings,
this picture is beautiful!!! thanks for making it and posting it. my partner and i would love to incorporate it in a multi-media show we are creating called "Hurricane Season." it's a two-woman that explores "unnatural disasters" man made disasters around the U.S. and the globe, followed by a "solutions-cipher" that aims to channel the energy generated during the performance into action manifested in the community. one tour one part fund raiser for equatable rebuilding in the gulf south.

The whole second part of the show deals with the beautiful of life in all its many forms and we would *love* to use this image with your permission. Your picture would only surface for about 5 seconds in a sea of other photos and moving images that serve as a backdrop that we want the projection behind us for an acrobatic slow dance to Nina Simone's "Take Me to the Water" A slow panning of ocean shots overlapped with each other to create an atmospheric feel.

we would not print or sell your image, it would just be used in the video.

It's a real grassroots thing, so we don't have money to pay you, but will credit you exactly as you wish and get you into the show for free. We're traveling to almost 50 cities beginning in the summer in a bus converted to run on recycled grease... You can find out more about Hurricane Season at www.hurricaneseasontour.com

we would credit you in the program, make a link from our site to yours and if you so happen to live near or in one of the cities we are visiting we would love to reserve a seat for you!
you can email me back about this at love@climbingpoetree.com and please put a link to this picture so we know what photo we are talking about!

thank you for letting us know as soon as possible if this is possible!
stay soo blessed and keep taking such incredible photos!
