Bill De Jager Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I decided to do some UV photography around 14:00 but ran into technical and other problems before I could leave the house. As a result the following photo was taken at 45 minutes before local sunset and after clouds had blocked the low sun. The weather was partly cloudy after a cold front and rain had passed through earlier in the day. Merged Landscape by Bill de Jager, on Flickr Equipment: Converted Nikon D610, CoastalOpt 60mm f/4 lens, Baader Venus filter.Settings: ISO 1600, f/8, 1/4 second, +2 exposure compensation, tripod, remote release with mirror up. The small aperture was a miscalculation on my part.Processing: Four photos merged into one to reduce noise, contrast strongly increased, haze reduced, moderate sharpening, strongly cropped.

Cadmium Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Bill, That is a very nice wide UV view! Would look very impressive on a large wide wall. Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I like long panos like this. Gives the eye a nice sense of having been on a journey.The dark tree line against the successively lighter backgrounds is a classic UV effect that I never tire of in long distance landscapes like this.

Stefano Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Looks almost misty, but it’s probably Rayleigh scattering. Nice image. Link to comment
Bill De Jager Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Thanks for the positive comments. The view was actually a bit hazy in visible and was nicely layered. The UV view was too hazy for a nice layered effect so I reduced the haze. Maybe I just should have shot in visible! It's funny that cropping strongly to a narrow horizontal view creates such an impression of a panorama. The photo was taken with a 60mm lens so it's not all that wide, and I even cropped a bit on the left side. Link to comment
dabateman Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Looks exactly how I remember San Francisco or San Mateo where I stayed for a day. Link to comment
ultrainfra Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Bill, That is a very nice wide UV view! Would look very impressive on a large wide wall. I wonder what the mural of the UV 'scape would look like in UV Link to comment
