So I couldn't sleep, and decided to render one more shot from this
afternoon. This was a perfectly pleasant color image. However I
figured I'd channel Ansel Adams, that is if Ansel, was on drugs and lost
half his talent. So I couldn't reproduce his compositional skills but I
could make the image a dramatic B&W, (as he was wont to do when he
printed in his later years). After initial rendering and increasing
contrast a bit, I used DXOMark's Filmpack 3 to apply a Tri-X look with
large format grain, added a deep orange filter, adjusted contrast and
exposure, till it was close to what I was looking for. Back in
Photoshop, I used the burn tool to knock down a few problematic
highlights. Resized and increased the micro contrast just the tiniest
bit and viola (sic).
