Peace and Serenity in the Canadian Rockies (Jasper National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: With the nearby trees, the river and a mountain backdrop, this image was a peaceful view. It was at a bend in the Athabasca River. Mount Fryatt and the other peaks of the Hooker Icefield Range are the backdrop. One can see both vibrant colors in the trees and contrasts coming in the shadows and such on the mountainside, which I also noticed, But in the end for me, it was the peaceful setting int he Canadian Rockies that drew me into this image.

A Drive Through the Canadian Rockies and Icefields Parkway (Jasper National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: With a clear highway to stand and take in this view, I attempted to center myself on the road and mountains beyond. What a mountain view to take in while driving and soaking it all in! Mountains and more mountains...

The Athabasca River and a Mountain View (Jasper National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A stop along the Icefields Parkway heading back from Jasper, AB to the Lake Louise area. This is a view of mountains in the Hooker Icefield Range, including Brussels Peak, Mount Christie, & Mount Fryatt. I used Silver Efex Pro 2 which brought out a rich tonal range of contrasts. Oh, and yes...it was an amazing view of mountains to take in that day in Alberta!

The Athabasca River and a Mountain View (Jasper National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A color version of an image capture along the Icefields Parkway. I found the B&W one brought out a better contrast for the final image. The color one though brings out the amazing view better. Athabasca River below and mountains all around.

Brussels Peak and Mount Christie Caught in the Glow of Sunlight (Icefields Parkway) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Here I zoomed into to capture the glow on the mountainside and clouds above. Yes, the mountains were amazing but the yellow glow from the sun really added to the final image in my mind.

Real Jasper National Park-land! by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at a roadside pullout along Alberta Highway 93A in Jasper National Park with a view looking to the south-southeast. This is while standing along the shoreline of Leach Lake with a mountain backdrop that included Mount Fryatt and Whirlpool Mountain. I decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward as I felt it better brought out that view to allow the eyes to slowly move across this national park landscape and be drawn into the image.I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 6 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

This is at the Goats and Glacier Lookout in Jasper National Park. With this image, I decided to zoom in with the focal length and have those glacial carved ridges and peaks fill the image from edge to edge with portions caught in the morning sunlight.
