A Revisit to a Black and White Recipe Preset I Made About 12 Years Ago

            I captured this image not long after taking off out of Austin on a flight to San Jose for a trip that would eventually take me to Pinnacles National Park. This is an airplane window view, looking generally to the south, with the one of the airplane wings as we started to fly above some clouds. That was my thought on composing this image.

As for the recipe preset, it was one that I came across and made while reading Jason Odell's book on Capture NX2. I experimented with a few things as I worked with the black and white settings I came across in the book. One of the things that I did on that recipe was to make the shadowed portions of the clouds darker, while the ones caught in sunlight much brighter. Another was working with the levels and curves to make adjustments to the individual red, green, and blue values. I am now working with DxO PhotoLab 6 and had to find equivalent ways to make that look. Still some to work on but a nice try again after so many years.
