Rocky fall (IR 720nm)

Oookay, this is a bit different for that time back then, it's weird yes, not surprises there, with the fullspec D90 I used the Tamron only at 24mm, shorter resulted in a nasty hotspot. However, on this IR safari, I apparently felt the need to do or try it, the focus was not tested out, and I used f/9 (never did before) I presume in the hope that with 10mm, the DOF would be so great that the focus is no concern anymore. It appears to be a cylincrical stitch but not sure, it looked weird initially and I have upgraded PTGui Pro since then. There was more glow, hotspot was not too crazy surprisingly, the VC on tripod did not matter to much also it appears. So, here it is.

 

I was in the process of climbing past the waterfall, one can see the water shooting down into this chamber, and it looks like this region is one house-size piece of solid rock cause the water carved many channels into it, or had to, over decades or centuries maybe?

I like the final thing, the topography of the place comes forth, there are details but still not too cluttered, and motion with the water and the moving leaves in front. Ah yeah, I almost forgot, this should be part 13 of the "lost gorge series" then. I could make an album?

 

 

Technically that's a 7 piece single row pano, looks like I used the 24mm click setup (which is 25,7°), could have easily done just half the images, but again, it was not planned / prepared.

The trimmed full version is 10488 x 5512px, cropped to ~55MP. It's funny, I've done tons of these single row panoramas now with the fullspec D3300 this year, since the IR hotspot is gone, who would have thought?
