Thunderstorm brewing (IR 510nm)

Same location as the b&w one I shared, but earlier. This afternoon was essentially "spontaneous cloud chasing", in infrared, very nice conditions.

The light was coming from behind here (although that's relative given the wide angle of the pano, from the left on the left side and from behind on the right), and all of a sudden, a solid cloud build itself up right in front of the sun. I was about to pack up and go home, really, cause "everything" was in the shade now, from my perspective at least. I didn't anticipate that just 75mm (FX) would zoom in on and highlight those still sunny batches in the distance that well. I also did those panos fast (and did not switch to other wavelength), cause the cloud was about to grow out of the 50mm frame (and 35mm was much too wide), but I was pretty dialed in at that point, used the Tamron 10-24mm and NIKKOR 28-50mm all summer. The latter is a pain to use for IR, but it's optically just too good not to.

Unfortunately this doesn't come through that much in the long-ish format. This would perhaps look nice as a wall-size print, like in the hallway of a (public) building, or subway, where one can walk by the landscape, literally.

Anyway, this one leans more towards the purple side of things, not too much red in there, I like that in a way. Other things I don't like, but I won't say.. 😜
