Mountain and a River at the Teklanika River Overlook (Denali National Park & Preserve) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: An image captured at the Teklanika Rest Overlook and Stop with a view looking across the braided river to ridgelines and distant peaks of the Alaska Range within Denali National Park & Preserve. By angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward, I was able to create what I felt was a more sweeping view across this river valley to the distant peaks. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 3.

A Favorite Thing to Brag About is a National Park! (Denali National Park & Preserve) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view looking to the southeast while on the main park road just before crossing Sable Pass in Denali National Park. While I wasn't able to identify any of the peaks based on the park map and a Gaia map program, I was able to determine that this was of mountain peaks to the east of Mount Pendleton. By angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward, I wanted to capture more of a sweeping view across this glacial valley leading up to those ridgelines and snowcapped peaks off in the distance. I included some of the blue skies above, even though there was a quite a bit of haze that afternoon. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2.

It Isn't Hard to Imagine a Beautiful Place in Denali National Park & Preserve by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view looking to the southeast while on the main park road not too long before coming to Polychrome Overlook in Denali National Park & Preserve. The setting I was attempting to capture with this image was the view across the rolling hillsides to the ridgeline and snowcapped peaks off in the distance and in the upper portion of the image. Once again, there was still quite a bit of haze from the recent wildfires mixed with the sunlight that afternoon. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 3 and then used the ClearView tool to reduce some of the haze present.
