Twin trees (720nm infrared)

Happy weekend, y'all! I'm back to my "old" panorama ways, three row composites with the Tamron. Not that there wasn't any effort involved, no, but I have to admit that this piece was a real blast to arrange, develop, tune and crop etc. Good fun.

The main composition was clear-cut and promising, and there are three crops inherent in it that were also as obvious as nice. I went for the blue-n-white development first and then converted to monochrome, but decided to share the main pano in b&w (it lives more off the contrast) and left the false-color route for my favorite crop (because the sky is more prominent there), which you can find here:

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did an do, cheers ❤

 

 

Technically this one is a 8:5 aspect ratio crop (175,4MP), covering about 180° angle of view, of a multi-row IR panorama, consisting of 27 individual images, arranged in a mercator projection yielding (trimmed) 18591 x 15399px (~286,3MP).
