Lake Oeschinen in the Swiss Alps

[Kai]

In autumn I was in the wonderful Swiss Alps near Kandersteg. Today I would like to show you a picture that I took from the Bundergrat across the Kandertal from the Lake Oeschinen.
Its water level is at an average height of 1,578 m. The lake is 56 m deep at normal water levels and has an area of 1.1 km², making it one of the larger mountain lakes in Switzerland. It was created by several landslides on the flanks of the Fründenhorn and the Doldenhorn.

The pictures were taken with my cell phone (VIS) and a modified Canon 6D with the EF 1:2.8 28mm. WB versus PTFE. IR from 950 nm. UV by ZWB2 + TSN575, IR-color by Hoya G X0, post-processed.
Since I took the pictures freehand, the sections are not completely congruent.

Fantastic Kai
I really like the two IR photos.

Many thanks Colin :)
In the Alps, all spectral ranges actually come into their own. I really like the pseudo-Aerochrome version here.
Best regards

Kai, these images are fantastic, as always.

Spectacular images Kai. The second is my favorite. What a great trip.

Thanks for sharing,

I agree, I can’t pick a favorite!

very nice

 

a river in the UV photo is seen visibly as compared to other examples.

certain type of vegetation identifies as dark red in the second example.

I'm a bit late here but wanted to tell Kai that these are beautifully made. That Aerochrome version looks almost 3-dimensional. The deep red parts look like velvet.

@Kai Your variations are very beautiful
I tried to do an overlay
blue channel < UV
green channel < VIS
red channel < IR
unfortunately they cannot be superimposed in the register
but the image is dreamlike
