Looking east from Black Rock Road. It won’t be like this for long now. Savoring it.

Storm Clouds Rolling Across the Mountains of Great Smoky Mountains National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the east while taking in views on a very rainy and overcast day with low clouds moving across the mountains present. This is at Newfound Gap parking area in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. As there wasn't much of a view with the distant mountains, I chose to focus on what was nearby and close down a little on the aperture so that I could have even a little bit in focus off in the distance. 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.

The path just taken.

Road continues directly ahead, problem being it’s so steep we can’t see it. Tire tracks on such a steep road was scary.

I’ve been working on this on and off for a long time. Been working this one colour for like 20000 stitches and it goes on for a whole lot more in this quarter.

A Wide Angle View Looking Across Petroglyph National Monument and a Backdrop of the Sandia Mountains by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the east while taking in views across the mountain desert landscape present in the Volcanoes portion of Petroglyph National Monument. In composing this image, I angled my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and pulled back on the vocal length. I wanted a wide angle view and to raise the horizon higher into the image. That would bring the mountains above center and perhaps minimize some of the flattening that would come from a wide angle view.
