I Got the Image I Wanted! (Black & White, North Cascades National Park Service Complex)

            Quite often before I head out on any vacation trip, I look at images on Flickr and the 500px, wanting to gain an appreciation of some points for images that I might want to capture...and on this particular trip to North Cascades National Park. One of those images was this view of Diablo Lake looking to the southwest from an overview point along the North Cascades Scenic Highway. I even decided to digitally paint this setting on my iPad using Adobe Photoshop Draw. That's the backstory of this image...and seeing this for the first time with my own eyes was awe inspiring, to say the least! For this image, 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.
