Scenic Glacier National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: From a roadside pullout along the main park road in the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park. The view is looking to the southwest to ridges and peaks of the Northern Lewis Range (Allen Mountain, Wynn Mountain, Cracker, Mount Siyeh) hidden in clouds from the overcast skies that morning.

Premium Outdoor Experience in Joshua Tree National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: In Joshua Tree National Park with a view looking to the south-southwest across a mountain desert landscape with Joshua Trees and other plant-life present. This was at a roadside pullout. My thought of composing this image was to have the foreground filled with Joshua Trees and have that continue as part of the landscape leading up to the more distant ridges and peaks.

Fresh Ideas for Travel in Glacier National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views across a Lake Sherburne with Allen Mountain, Wynn Mountain, Cracker, and Mount Siyeh as a distant backdrop. This is along the main park road in the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park. My thought on composing the image was to zoom in with the focal length and capture a look to the distant mountains. I also wanted to minimize what I felt was negative space with the overcast skies.

Life in the Mountains of Lassen Volcanic National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While hiking the return path along the Lassen Peak Trail with a view looking down the mountainside and the across to more distant peaks and ridges in Lassen Volcanic National Park. While most of the images I captured that hike included a horizon, here I decided to angle my Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera downward and eliminate the horizon. I felt that really helped to create a sense of grandeur looking down the mountainside and bring out a more elevated view with the ridges off in the distance.
