Mind games (IR)

Even though I didn't expect to be able to crank out a decent false-color development (it certainly did not look like it in the beginning), this is the 'classic winter landscape' and a 8:5 crop of this 360° IR panorama:

But what is the wird title about, you might ask? (Or maybe not.. 😜)

 

So for some reason I decided to mirror the pano crop horizontally, something I normally don't do (and perhaps never ever will), and I assume it's not the same way for you as it is for me.

But my brain is like, ..WHAT? 😲 First, I know the place, second, I spent a good amount of time on producing this panorama, and now seeing it like that is a total mind-fuck! My brain: Where is this? Who developed this? I'm not kidding. Try it for yourself. Take a photo you worked on for a while and got used to, and know really well, ..then mirror it at the end. You'll see..

 

Disclaimer: If I can't stand it at all, I maybe ..maybe replace this one with the original (for me coherent) version, just fyi.

 

 

As said, it's a 16:10 panorama crop, 15424 x 9640px, ~148,7MP.
