I’m Always in a Good Place When I See Mountains! (Mesa Verde National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at the Mancos Valley Overlook with view looking to the northeast. This is in Mesa Verde National Park. Far off in the distance beyond the Mancos Valley are ridges and peaks of the San Miguel Mountains (PeakVisor app on my iPhone identified them as Belmear Mountain, Lone Cone, Groundhog Mountain, Black Mesa, Delores Peak, and Mount Wilson).

Let There Be Light As I Capture Images of the World Around Me (Shenandoah National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the west while taking in views across a grassy meadow and then to the more distant ridges and peaks present in this part of the Blue Ridge Mountains area. This is in Shenandoah National Park at Spitler Knoll Overlook. In composing this image, I decided to keep the sun setting off in the distance more or less in the image center. I did though want to include some foreground interest with grassy meadow and the nearby forest of trees leading up to the valley and the Masanutten Mountain. The rest was working the exposure to not blow any highlights while still being able to pull the more shattered areas later on and post-production and also working to minimize the artifacts from sunlight across the lens.

Remembering a Friday in Lassen Volcanic National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the south while taking in views across an open landscape with volcanic sand and rocks. Beyond that were hillsides with ridges and peaks and more volcanic rock debris. This was while hiking along the namesake trail in Lassen Volcanic National Park. In composing this image, I angled my Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera slightly downward, so that I could bring out more of a sweeping view across this national park landscape.

Renewing My Outside Membership as Often as I Can (Lassen Volcanic National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking along the Reflection Lake Trail with a view looking to the west across a nearby grassy meadow and lake waters. This is in Lassen Volcanic National Park. What I had wanted to do in composing this image was to get down low and capture a look across the grasses and waters with the backdrop of evergreens and blue skies. I liked the color contrast that the blues in the image had to the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image. I chose to work with HDR Efex Pro 7 to better bring that complete color setting in the image. I later exported a TIFF image to DxO PhotoLab 8 where I did some final adjustments with contrast, saturation and brightness for the final image.

A Grassy Meadow and Forest Backdrop (Jasper National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While at a roadside pullout along Alberta Highway 93A near Leach Lake. This is in Jasper National Park. My thought on composing this image was to get down low, but capture a view above the grassy meadow to my front. I wanted to have that look through the tall grasses and then beyond to the forest of evergreen trees on the other side of the meadow. The rest was just aligning my Nikon SLR camera to capture that image and find a focus point with a closed down aperture to bring most of this setting into focus.

Things That I Dream Of by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view looking across snowcapped mountain peaks of the Yukon area while flying over Canada on a flight from Anchorage to Minneapolis. I decided to zoom into this one portion and use a technique I came across a few years ago from a DPS article on the “impact of less.” The idea is to focus on a portion of an area and then let the mind imagine more beyond the image.
