Bear Necessities (Katmai National Park & Preserve) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: I captured this image at the Falls Platform with a view looking to the northeast at Brooks Falls while observing brown bears in Katmai National Park. The image is of several male brown bears in the river and falls area attempting to catch salmon to eat. I pulled back a lot on the focal length to capture much more of the falls and surrounding area. My thinking was to include all the bears present and capture the feeling of this wildlife and national park setting.

The Light of an Afternoon Sun (Black & White, Theodore Roosevelt National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view looking to the northeast at Badlands Overlook. With this image, I decided to make a conversion to black & white in Capture NX2 with some adjustments to color filters to bring out a more richer tonal contrast for the final image.

Exploration of Pinnacles National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the northeast while taking in views across eroded rock formations and volcanic leftovers in this part of Pinnacles National Park. The setting is along the Balconies Cave Loop in this part of the national park. With this image, I pulled back on the focal length to include more foreground and use the hiking trail to my front as a leading line into the image.
