Very nice.  For me if the peak were a little more off-center and not cropped quite so tight at the top it would be even better.  You had perfect conditions though, love the clouds and shadows.  ...

Agreed with Peter.  The colors and arrangement of items and angles makes this a cool shot.  Nicely done instagram: @joshdenaultphotography

I am assuming he has the 18-55 kit lens.  If you want a good second lens to accompany that for landscape/night photography I'd get a wide angle lens.  Maybe a Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 or something ...

My PP skills are barely good enough to take things away from a picture occasionally (via clone stamp tool) I can't imagine trying to add things to it.  I'd make a total mess of it :)

I agree with whoever said this close to the border of "too much" but I think it is very nicely done. Any more saturation (especially on the rock) would push it too far for me. The sky is awesome ...

Ah, thank you Niels.  That was on my first day driving into the park and a storm was blowing through.  I really liked how the bright foreground/grass contrasted with the storm clouds in the ...

Thanks Marie!  Good call on the 300mm, hope you get to see some wildlife up close.  There were plenty of Buffalo and Elk that I saw, couple coyotes.  Never did see any wolves or bears though.

Hi Niels, you linked the whole set so I am not sure which one you are referring to but thank you for the compliment! Edit- just realized you can't direct link individual photos given that Zenfolio ...

I am jealous. I went to Yellowstone 4 years ago in September and had a great time. I had 2 bodies with me at the time, 60D and Rebel Xsi. A friend loaned me a 300mm that I kept on the Xsi but I ...

Thanks Rick.  Yep, photography only solo trip.  Does that change things?  Any other suggestions?  Thanks again

I am heading to Portland area for 6-7 nights in the Fall.   I want to spend 1-2 days in Columbia River Gorge photographing waterfalls, fall colors etc..... Is it worth staying somewhere else ...

Good info, thank you Gary.  You are right, I need to plan for either scenario weather wise.  Unfortunately September wont work due to other obligations, but October seems more risk/reward to me ...

Great pictures, thank you!  Gives me a good idea of these spots

Thanks!  Sounds like Cannon Beach is a must, thanks for narrowing it down as well within that area.  Always wanted to check out Astoria as well, good idea.  Thanks

These are great, thank you.  Yes,weather could go either way I am guessing but if nothing else I hope to see some fall colors.  Thanks for the recommendations

Also....recommendations on spots IN Portland, especially cityscape locations for sunset/night shots of the city would be great

Thank you!  Good info!

Southwest has some screaming deals going on so I just booked a flight for the 2nd week of October.  I am flying into Portland and will have 6 nights to play with, and I have never been there ...

Not sure if you consider this  "long" but some of my favorite landscape shots are taken with my Canon 70-200 f/4.  When I first bought the lens I wasn't sure how much I would actually use it but ...

I spent roughly an hour and a half up there a couple months ago.  12 hours? You have way more patience than I do :)   Looks like you got some nice shots!
