A View to Ross Lake and Mountains Beyond (Black & White, North Cascades National Park Service Complex)

            One of many images captured at this overlook to Ross Lake from a roadside stop along the North Cascades Highway. Here I decided to try out this "Ansel Adams Look" I'd read about in Jason Odell's book on Capture NX2. The idea is to work with the LCH editor, making some adjustments, and then use a Black point and White point before converting to black & white. I later worked with some color filters to bring out a much darker tone to the blue skies above for the final image.
