While at Goats and Glacier Lookout along the Icefields Parkway with a view looking to the south-southeast across this glacial valley with the Athabasca River flowing by with a backdrop of mountains from the Hooker Icefield range (Mount Brussels-Brussels Peak and Mount Christie).

A setting looking to the north while taking in views to a nearby Flowering Dogwood. This location is at Swift Run Overlook in Shenandoah National Park. In composing this image, I wanted to minimize what I felt was the negative space of the overcast skies and have the tree to my front fill as much of the image, while still including some backdrop of the distant mountainside and ridges. Because of the nearness of the rock wall, I was forced to include a little bit of that but attempted to figure out a way have it add to the setting of foreground interest.
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.

A setting looking to the south while walking and taking in views across dune ridges and flats at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park. With this image, I decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and capture a sweeping view across the sands to my front. That would then bring the distant mountains higher into the image and perhaps create more of a sense of grandeur.

While walking around the summit of Lassen Peak with a view looking to the north-northwest. This is in Lassen Volcanic National Park. What drew me into this setting was the layers present. Obviously there was Mount Shasta which stood tall and high off in the distance. But nearby there was the volcanic remnants, which I used as foreground interest. There was then the view beyond and the ridges with wind turbines. I decided to angle my Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera slightly downward, so that I could bring the horizon a little higher into the image. I felt that would add a sense of grandeur to all the ridges and peaks present.
