North Dunes Nature Preserve
Illinois Beach State Park (North Unit)
Zion, Illinois (Lake County)
Nikon Coolpix P7700
Editing was done using Luminar Flex. I used the Luminance tab in the HSL filter and adjusted the following colors: Yellow +60, Green +60, Aqua -10 and Blue -50. Then I used the Luminance tab in the Black & White Conversion filter and adjusted the following colors and settings: Red -30, Yellow +100, Green +100, Cyan -70, Blue -50, Magenta -50, Contrast +20 and Clarity +20. Lastly I used the Saturation tab on the B&W Conversion filter to raise the blues to 100. In other words, the parts that aren’t blue are fake black and white infrared.

This looks amazing and you can see its windy
Thanks, Pamela. True. It was not a day to go for a swim.
Stunning contrast with the blue, very nicely done.
Thanks. I saw a video talk about the technique and I thought I’d give it a try.
beautiful capture , thank you for sharing
Thanks. I appreciate it.
So beautiful and rather chilling! It’s a great cool off for the summer heat.
Thank you. I wasn’t going to add the blue at first but I didn’t think it was as interesting without it.
Been there, love it great picture Gary!!!!
Thanks. I like the area a lot. My wife and I try to get up there when we can.
