Wow... helluva trip. Nice stuff.

Nice shots! What time of the year?

What happened to your skies in these?

Thanks, I took these a few weeks ago so like the 2nd to last weekend of September

I'm not sure what you mean?

I like them all. Terrific set.

Thanks it is a beautiful drive, so many opportunities to capture so much beauty. Also I shot them all with the 7d and sigma 24-70mm 2.8 and processed in the latest version of Light Room

The scale of the rock in the third shot is amazing... Well done...

thanks, its hard screw up when you have such beautiful landscape to work with.

Also I lied, the photo of the bridge with the clouds was shot with my the nifty fifty

x2 I agree. I like this shot the most.. maybe because the rock seems "out of place" on a beach, but its really "in place."

Even better is that small person standing on the sand to give it a perspective of how big that rock is.

Nice series. The 3rd. pic is outstanding!

I think #3 and #5 are magazine-worthy
good job!

just my two cents, no offense intended
#1 (never a big fan of b/w, this looks like a great scenery)
#2 (wide empty space, over)
#4 (not liking the ?fake? vignetting effect)
#6 (maybe could benefit from higher f-stop?)
#7 (under)
#8 (PP made it look like it was on HDR acid)

Any advice I can get is awesome, I'm still pretty new to photography this 7d is my first SLR and I've only had it for about 3 months. I seem to be learning quickly, I'm starting to pick up some freelance work which is exciting. I have the sigma 24-70mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.8 which lens do you think I should purchase next? or should I invest in a flash next?

Love this.. Its a hard road to make it down without stopping every 5 minutes...

They're all great, but I agree that #3 is the best.
