There's Not a Lot of Traffic in Big Bend National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Another national park setting that I never tire, even after three visits to Big Bend National Park! The setting is looking to Casa Grande and the south-southeast using the Basin Road as a leading line into the image. As opposed to a wider angle image, I decided to zoom in with the focal length. That way the ridges and peaks of the Chisos Mountains would be seemingly surrounding the viewer to create that feeling of height and tallness all around. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation in NX Studio. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I made some more adjustments for that last effect on the image captured.
