Random stream (720nm IR)
Well, I felt like going square with this one, that doesn't happen too often. There are obviously some issues with the clouds, they were just too fast. There was no chance of getting anywhere with manual adjustments due to the trees involved, and there is too little overlap for effective masking. So that's that, I guess, can't have everything all the time and there are a few other things I'm not so keen on. ☹️
I still like it though, the clouds and the motion blurr of some of the ferns give it a dynamic aspect, and in general, it's nice to see a stream that's still natural and not build in or restricted in some way.
Close by, just over a pass, there is/was a valley with a beautiful secluded little gorge, one of my favorites, I already shared some photos from, this vintage series:

and this was the first IR trial there (I climbed through it another time, but blundered severly with the VR of my lens on, *grr*), one of the many waterfalls:

Unfortunately last year, a major storm and subsequent avalanges and extensive flooding literally destroyed the entire valley, incl. infrastructure, houses, etc., so it's kinda stupid to whine about the lost beauty, escpecially given the fact that people died and many more lost their home. But that's how nature works..
That's a mercator projection build from 27 images I trimmed to a square format with 12641px, ~159,8MP and the angle of view is about 180°.
Hit "L" or click to zoom in, to get some details! I feel the "more square" the format, the better Flickr's limiting "best display size" can be exploited. Slender panoramas and the like are the worst..
