Lake at the hut (720nm infrared)

Water, in whatever form, and the infrared spectrum are usually a interesting combination, I find. Unfortunately I blew some of the highlights, it's not too bad and to my defence, dark water and dark sky plus a sliver of luminous foliage is not so straightforward to expose.

And as usual, I'm a bit torn cause I have a pretty false-color development as well, maybe I'll share that later on, but for now I feel like going with the classic b&w one.

 

I'm thankful that I live in an area where there are still places that are not totally "infrastructured" or filled with tourists. Nothing against certain types of tourism, but it just does change things sooner or later, invariably.

So it's nice to be where things are simple, "undeveloped" and mostly natural, besides beauty, there is some peace to be had.

 

Okay, so the original panorama consisted of 30 photos, but this is pretty much out in the open and the sun flare and the reflection of the sun in the water was just ..raging, so I decided to ditch the left part of it and went with just 21 images, cropped to 8:5 with a final resolution of 14131 x 8832px, 124,8MP.
