Welcome to There. The Place You've Wanted to Be! (Denali State Park)

            A view looking to the southwest while hiking along the Little Coal Creek Trail in Denali State Park. This was a setting looking across some autumn colors coming out across the tundra along this hillside. While I could have composed the image with more of a wide angle view, I decided to focus the image across this one portion of the hillside and let the imagination of plants across this tundra continue beyond the image boundaries. The “impact of less,” so to speak. I could then angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and capture more of a sweeping view across this hillside and minimize the mostly cloudy skies above that I felt were kind of a negative space for the setting and image captured.

I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLabs 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured.
