Title: Lake Crescent WA
Post by: ScottyBoy on February 21, 2010, 07:25:48 PM
Yesterday, my dad took us (my sisters and I) to Lake Crescent to get a few pics, and I ended up taking one of my best pics ever. The only thing I would have liked for the picture to show more foreground. But unfortunately, there was a huge bush behind me, so I couldn't back up any more. :(

Anyway, here it is...

Beautiful, Scotty!

Next time take along some equipment to get that bush out of the way!   :lol:

Yeah, next time I'll rent a backhoe, and tear that bush right out. :lol:

Wow.   One of those shots I look and and wish I had taken.

Well done.

Absolutely beautiful, Scotty!!! I think it looks great without the foreground, may have been a little distracting because it would of focused on the foreground and the beauty you caught here would of had less impact. On the other hand it probably would be nice too, as in two different POV's...Good Job!!! :thumbsup:

Beautiful shot--wish I could have been there, if only to just sit and take it all in.

Hmm... I took a little road trip with my oldest son, up the Olympic Peninsula a few years back and one morning I took this shot:

A little 2 MP Canon Elph.    But it turned out pretty well.

I would say it did indeed turn out "pretty well"!  Beautiful scene.

Good shot, Barbarian. Where is that exactly?

I don't know, exactly.   Someplace on the Olympic peninsula.   In or near Olympic National Park.

Very nice images.  Scotty, as still as the water is, I would think this was an early morning picture, but the brightness of the sky makes me think it might have been nearer to noon.  What time of day did you capture this image.  The reflection is nearly as sharp as the horizon.
