Alpine moor (IR 510nm)
One of the few remaining altitude moors, so I felt not super great to stomp around in there, since it's a rather fragile ecosystem, with rare (carnivorous) plants etc. There is a track on the side, but all this disappears in winter and is flooded in spring so it's hard to tell where to go even as a local. The weather was brilliant that day, look at the fluffy clouds, well-behaved, not on / off over the sun a million times how it often is, and the melting patchy snow provides a balance for the false-color madness. It was 1 p.m., aggressive harsh midday light (see the shadows), no lenshood, so there is some ghosting, but very contained, no loss of contrast or general flare; I actually like it.
This is a 5 piece panorama, ~87,1MP cropped to 12455 x 4985px, ~2,5:1 ratio with ~180° angle of view.
Nikon D3300 (APS-C / DX, fullspectrum mod)
Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di ll VC HLD
heliopan SH-PMC deep yellow 4x (15, G) filter
ISO100, 13mm, f/8, 1/1600sec
(thus 19,5mm full frame equivalent)
tripod, panorama head, remote (ML-L3)
