<p>Hi Jason, <br> after having lived in Seattle for seven years and photographed around extensively here are my five cents (or a little more). I include some links to write ups I have posted in the past about the locations. Some of them have been mentioned above. And some of the photos are within tutorials on how to do something. Just check the location map at the bottom of the post for the exact location where the photo was taken.</p> <p>Cityscape:<br> <strong>Kerry park</strong>, in the Queen Anne neighborhood (http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/good-morning-kerry-park-seattle/)<br> <strong>Jose Rizal Bridge</strong> (http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/sunset-over-seattle-from-jose-rizal-bridge/ and http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/downtown-seattle/)<br> <strong>Downtown from alki</strong> (http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/remove-halos-in-photoshop/)<br> <strong>Waterfront</strong> from the Bell Harbor conference center (http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/seattle-waterfront/)<br> <strong>Lake union</strong>, specially from gasworks park (http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/sunset-lake-union/)<br> <strong>Anywhere around pike's place</strong>.</p> <p>Seascapes:<br> <strong>Edmonds Ferry Terminal.</strong> A short drive up north on I5. A great spot to catch the sunset from (http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/sunset-at-edmonds-beach/)<br> <strong>Salt Creek beach</strong>. About 2h 30' from Seattle. Great coast location near Port Angeles (http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/how-to-use-lee-big-stopper/)</p> <p>Landscapes:<br> <strong>Mt. Rainier.</strong> an amazing frozen volcano south of Seattle. Lots of snow at this time of the year.<br> <strong>Mt Saint Helens.</strong> The volcano that blew up. 2h 30' South of Seattle. Lots of snow too (http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/blending-photos-in-photoshop/)<br> <strong>Olympic National Park</strong>. If you can drive some more you have endless possibilities here... probably too much if you are only there for a weekend, but here it goes...<br> coast: http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/photos-of-olympic-national-park-coast/<br> forests: http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/photography-of-olympic-national-park-the-woods/</p> <p>Happy new year and enjoy Seattle!<br> JR</p>

<p>Hi Kerry, <br> In case you want more info from a photographer (myself) that did something similar to what you are planning, take a look at this blog post:<br> http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/photography-guide-national-parks-in-utah-and-arizona/<br> Cheers!<br> Jairo</p>

<p>Hi Edmund, <br> I actually live in Barcelona and I am a (not pro) photographer. I would most definitely not leave my DSLR at home for fear of having it stolen. BCN is a big city full of tourists and I am sure things happen, but I would not be worried about someone actually threatening you to give him/her your camera. Pickpockets tend to be silent and you only realize something is missing after the fact. <br> That said, just be cautious, as in any other major busy city with tons of tourists taking the streets. <br> If you want to go someplace off the beaten path, take a look at this blog post: <br> http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/barcelona-sky/<br> This place, Mount Carmel, is not far away from Park Güell. And it has some cool views of the city.<br> I have another couple of blog entries with photos from BCN in the front page of my blog, in case you are interested!<br> Let me know if you have specific questions about the city!<br> Cheers<br> Jairo</p>

<p>Hi Mario, <br> In this <a href="http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/photography-guide-national-parks-in-utah-and-arizona/">photography guide to Utah and Arizona</a> I recently posted you may find some useful info on sunsets and sunrises in Canyonlands and Dead Horse State Park. I photographed there four years ago and I was blown away! Have fun!<br> Jairo</p>

<p>Hi Frank, <br> Here's a photography and travel guide I wrote about our trip from Las Vegas to some of the National Parks and State Parks in Utah and Arizona. Hope you can find some useful info there!<br> Cheers, <br> Jairo<br> http://www.jairophoto.com/blog/photography-guide-national-parks-in-utah-and-arizona/</p>
