Downstream (IR 720nm)

Some oldschool stuff, from the first huuuge IR safaris utilizing the Tamron 24mm 3-row setup.

So there is a pretty narrow, deep valley between two mountain ridges, but in the middle it goes up to ~1000m in altitude (despite being a 'valley'), lovely for cycling!, so naturally the water accumulates from both sides from the mountains, but the pass in between is kind of divider, making the water flow out the valley in opposite directions.

One side got ravished by storm not too long ago, that's where I did the lost gorge series, but this pano is from the other side with quite low water levels. I was just there recently, took a few (IR) photos, but apported my mission cause it was quite sketchy and arduous due to tons of water.

 

 

Technically it is a 42 piece mercator projection, 27203 x 15587px, ~424MP, 360°, cropped to 8:5 with ..less MP and angle.
