Artist's Comments

Fullview highly recommended. The thumb doesn't give the panorama any justice =p

Infrared panorama view of the valley Valldal on the west coast of Norway. Stitched together of 12 IR pictures all with a shutter speed of 30" (luckily the clouds didn't move too much, so it was actually possible to stitch the pictures together).

All my other panoramas from Valldal can be found here.

The clouds are casting shadows, so the lighter areas on the mountain sides are where the sun shines through :aww:

Post-processing:
Fixed the white balance and the contrast a bit on all the pictures with adobe camera raw. Stitched them together with photomerge in photoshop.

Switched the red and blue channel in channel mixer, adjusted the curves, one curves layer only for the valley. Added a black and white layer set to soft light (90%) and a black and white layer, only on the sky, set to hard light (50%).

Cropped the picture a bit and sharpened.

Yaay! :yay:

Wonderful, I usually like the white conversion of the trees but this is nice too. Great that you finally got an IR of it too =D

I haven't really tried, or figured out how to get the trees white (except of b&w). But anyways, in this picture I love the pink, it looks like a candy clad valley :D

Yep yep, spun sugar or whatever it's called =P

Just in case you'll wanna do it sometime in the future, I seem to recall he has instructions here for how to make the trees white: [link]
