Remote-house-tree-skyline-panoramama (IR 1µm)

Okke, that's a recent one and it had, again, more like a scouting flavour. It was midday (as you can tell by the shadows), sun was hammering down, very harsh (great for IR though) and the sky appeared almost featureless with the naked eye so I had not much expectation.

 

For one, going wide with a plain sky can get boring quick, but also, 1000nm seems to aggravate any hotspot issues that might be present (that would not even show up with, like 500-600nm) and therefore not easy to go clean and minimal with compositions. I would not go as far as calling it a 'prima donna' filter, but it has it's challenges, yet overall, very satisfying and intriguing.

 

Anyway, I was pleasantly surprise by what showed up in the sky, it was a bit hazy, but with some nice patterns in deep IR, it appears. There are also other nice details / IR feature in there, so I might share some crops, but I wanted to not lose and show the 360° view integrity. (Haven't done or shared any panorama stuff since, ..well, last year it seems.) I did a second panorama with 24mm, maybe that's better for crops, we'll see. I also was drawn to classic straight b&w this time..

 

 

This is a 14 piece panorama, 29226 x 6560px, ~192MP, full 360° angle of view.
