<p>Thank you all for all the valuable advice.<br> Yes, seeing is believing. I will get early, circle around the rim road and find out.</p>

<p>I am planing to visit Crater Lake National Park in mid Aug, and been checking good locations to shoot.<br> Watchiman Lookour and Discovery point seem to be good, especially during sunrise. I am also planing to shoot beautiful night sky there too.</p> <p>I am just wondering if there are any good sunset locations which are good during sunset on the east side of the lake?</p>

<p>Thank you for all the useful info, guys!<br> I've been checking the web cams from the park. No mountain has not been visible in the last few days, but today, WOW.....clearly visible!!<br> I just have to cross my fingers.....</p>

<p>I am visiting Mount Rainier National Park in mid Augsut. This will be my first visit there and I'm very excited about it.<br> Mount Rainier is known for wildflowers.....but seems the good seaosn for that will be over by the time I'm there, thereofore I would have to forget about including flowers in my photo this time (Looks like the peak was mid July this year, which was way earlier than usual.)<br> I have done some research for the photo locations. Classic Reflection Lake and Tipsoo Lake shots in early morining are my top lists. <br> Even though they say that August is the driest month, I would expect some rainy or overcast days during my 4 day stay. There are some water falls I am interested in capturing, such as Narada Falls, Christine Falls, Myrtle Falls and so on. I would probably visit those places on cluody days. Also I'd like to do dayhike some of the medium level trails, such as Skyline Trail and Burroughs Mountain Trail etc. But I would love to walk on sunny days though..... well, nothing I can do about the weather, I know.<br> Tipsoo Lake can be beautiful in sunset, but most of the locations in Paradise and Sunrise seem to be good in sunrise. Good sunset locations seem to be all in Mowich Area, northwestern part of the park, which I don't think I would have time to visit....<br> I'd like to hear any suggestions from fellow members regarding to other good photo locations on both clear and cloudy days.</p> <p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Thank you, David and Alan!<br> Never thought about asking cleanig ladies....that might be a good idea! lol<br> Thanks!!</p>

<p>I am visiting Honolulu next week and would like to shoot some classic Waikiki Beach postcard pic with Diamondhead in the back.<br> I did some reseach online and found lots of pics taken from the ocean front rooms of Sheraton Waikiki Hotel (higher floors). Those are the images that I would like to get, but I guess I would have to stay that hotel in oreder for me to get those images, which I am not planing to.....<br> Does anyone know the place where I could get the similar shots without paying? ....lol<br> Please advise.<br> Thanks.</p>
