Small IR waterfall (720nm)

I happen to like this one a lot, nothing else to do but stroll around there by myself, taking as many photos as I feel like. That's part 4 of the "lost gorge series".

Nice to know that I documented this place (in infrared), don't think anybody has taken pictuers there, ever. Nobody will again, not in this form. As I probably said many times already, really got to like this panoramic layout, because there's so much information at the top and bottom, a mercator projection is very effective, it is like having a tilt-lens with unlimited field of view.

This one is around 180°, while vertical straight lines stay straight, there is some distortion / compresseion, don't think there is a way around it, like the waterfall isn't huge, yet the rift in front (I had to cross over) is taler than me, 2m+ but it doesn't look like it. The longer shutter speed of the D90 together with the R72 introduced some medium motion blur on the water, I think that's nice too.

 

I think the monochrome single row pano I shared recently is just a bit upstream, judging from the logs / trees that fell over (and the order I took them).

 

 

Technically that is mercator projection, consisting of 21 individual photos, ~219,6MP, cropped to 8:5 with 14366 x 8979px, 129MP.
