I just booked my flight to Portland in June and will have 3+1 days (Sun-Wed and Sat-Sun) for photography . I have too many items on my list to shoot in the time allowed so I'm looking for some advice on what to shoot.

Here's the list of possibilities
Three Arch Rocks, Tillamook
Crater Lake
Thor's Well
Shipwreck at inlet to gorge
Silver Falls State Park waterfalls
Bandon Coast
Columbia River Gorge Waterfalls -
Multnomah Falls
Wahkeena Falls
Latourell Falls
Bridal Veil Falls
Mt Hood over Trillium lake at dawn
Rowena Plateau
Rogue River

I tend to like ocean over waterfalls, but then I haven't had that much opportunity to shoot waterfalls. I love the shots I've seen of Thor's Well and it's high on the list.

My current thinking was the following
Sun sunset - Tillamook
Mon sunrise - Cannon Beach
Mon day - drive down coast
Mon sunset - Thor's Well
Tue - either Bandon or Crater Lake
Wed sunrise - Bandon or Crater Lake

Have to pick-up friends at PDX Wed afternoon

Sat evening - More Tillamook or Gorge waterfalls
Sun morning - Gorge waterfalls
Sun afternoon - fly home.

So it that doable? Should I concentrate on just one location instead of trying to do too many? Bandon vs Tillamook vs Crater Lake?

Any help would be appreciated.

Canon beach is doable from Tillamook, a bit of a drive but doable. Crator lake needs its own couple days if you ask me, I would focus on the beach with your days, then Saturday evening Sunday morning you could grab some Gorge waterfalls. Personally I would focus on Tillamook and north of there, Tillamook bay has a couple small town around it that have great docks and peirs. Along with tons of places along the highway that you can jump the guard rail and get down to the rocks and ocean for some fun images. Great sunsets at the Oregon beach are very hit and miss, I stayed at a house for a week, and we had one sunset that was picture worthy.
