Not Being Wary as My Footsteps Go by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the south while taking in views across walking path covered with fallen leaves from nearby trees in Lithia Park. By getting down low and angling my iPhone, I felt I was able to create a sweeping view that would help lead the viewer into the image.

Video from practice in Ashland, Oregon at Lithia Park. Fighters are Ed and Stygian Falsename. We take videos mostly for training purposes. You hear me yell Hold during the video which is our word to stop in place. Anyone who sees an unsafe situation may yell hold so they can keep others safe. A Hold is resumed with all fighters staying in place, the issue resolved or individual hurt removed from the field, and a three, two, one countdown finished with a Lay-on command to resume fighting.

The Lithia Park Stairs

ー

To get from the creek path to the upper forest trails in the park, you can head up this very fancy staircase. At the top are two benches to sit and enjoy the foresty view, and trails on either side, and another stairway to the left that goes up to the South Pioneer gravel road, and from there you can go straight up to the woodland trails that span the entire length of Lithia Park and are a great wander.

There is just something so special about a staircase in the woods. The benches are a nice place for afternoon coffee break, to bring a book to read, and perhaps write a book. The mood is very nice on a cool, cloudy afternoon ...

Remembering a Sunday in Ashland by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views across a carpet of fallen leaves in Lithia Park during a stay in Ashland Oregon. This image was captured with my iPhone using a portrait orientation. My thinking in composing this image was to use that look and capture a sweeping view over the fallen leaves with its autumn colors across this city park landscape. With the overcast and cloudy skies that late afternoon, I felt it helped to bring out more vibrant colors in the image captured. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

Exploring Autumn in Lithia Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking around and taking in views of fallen leaves in Lithia Park in Ashland Oregon. My thinking in composing this image was to get down low with my iPhone and angle it such that I created a sweeping view across the carpet of fallen leaves on this grassy field.
