Getting out There Along the Blue Ridge Parkway by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at the Stony Fork Overlook (Google Maps refers to this as Blue Ridge Parkway Scenic Point) with a view looking to the southeast across the ridges and peaks of the N NC Blue Ridge Crest. I angled my Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera slightly downward, so that I could bring out more of a sweeping view across this mountain landscape.

High Adventure in Lassen Volcanic National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: At an overlook while hiking along the Lassen Peak Trail, I was able to enjoy a panoramic view to the southeast. The mountainside presented a striking landscape, featuring a prominent rock and boulder field. Far off in the distance are more ridges and peaks in this part of the California Cascades. This is in Lassen Volcanic National Park.

My Navigations in Lassen Volcanic National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southeast while hiking and taking in views across the mountainside with a large rock and boulder field present. In the distance along the horizon are more ridges and peaks in Lassen Volcanic National Park and wilderness area. I chose to keep the horizon more or less leveled-on as I liked the color contrast with the blue skies, compared to the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.

Enjoying Mountain Time (Blue Ridge Parkway) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at the Stony Fork Overlook (Google Maps refers to this as Blue Ridge Parkway Scenic Point) with a view looking to the southeast across the ridges and peaks of the N NC Blue Ridge Crest. I angled my Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera slightly downward, so that I could bring out more of a sweeping view across this mountain landscape. I felt raising the horizon would bring out more of a sense of grandeur present in the image. I still wanted to keep some of the blue skies and clouds in the upper portion of the image as I felt they were a good color contrast to the earth-tones present in the lower portion of the image. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation in DxO PhotoLab 7. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 7 where I added a Polarization, Foliage, and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured.

Athabasca Falls and Mount Kerkeslin (Jasper National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southeast while taking in views along a walkway at Athabasca Falls. This is in Jasper National Park along the Icefields Parkway. With this image, I was focusing on the waterfall, keeping that starting point in the image center. I then lined up to have the Mount Kerkeslin as a backdrop to complement the waters flowing by.
