False bend (720nm mono IR)

Alright, this is the full but b&w monochrome version of part 7 of the "lost gorge series".

I think it is less overpowering and now features the many details (and errors) and gives a more spacious impression of the place. I like these patchy gradients that occur when the number of layers in the canopy changes, and the leaves go from radiant white to grey.

It's really cool to be able to capture such a wide view with relatively little distortion. Obviously I can go 360° with this setup if I want, but the vertical angle is massive too. Between the top and bottom row, I have 90° using 24mm on DX in portrait orientation.

If that's not too telling, perhaps a more every day example is: the bottom row captures the end of the tripod feet, so 150?, 160°?.

 

The stream makes just a slight bend here, most of which you can see in the pano is due to the wide horizontal angle (maybe around 240°) and also due to being in the lower part of the panorama.

 

 

Technically it's a 33 piece mercator projection, ~341,5MP trimmed with 22139 x 15427px.
