Stormy Rainbow

Okay, no Zerene Stacker here but I did use a tilt shift lens and this is one exposure.  This is another way to increase depth of field.  Parts of the Japanese Maple in the right side of the field is about 6 inches from the lens whereas the left side of the field is at infinity.  This is F-22.  I bought this lens because I thought it would be interesting for both architectural photography and landscapes but have found it somewhat difficult to use.  It actually didn't fit on my D 800 because of the design of that camera.  It does however fit on the D 750 and becomes a 36 mm lens on the D 500.  I'm still playing around with it but I don't use it as much as I should to make it worth keeping.  One can do some pretty cool multiple exposure panoramic landscapes with this lens but Mark has specified only single exposure for this exercise.

Iso 100, 24 mm tilt shift lens tilted to the left fully, F-22, 20th, tripod, D 750.  Topaz, TK luminosity masks, Google Vivenza, TK actions

An outstanding collection of colors, David, with the reds in the Japanese Maple on the right, the double rainbow and the yellows and greens in both the near and far lands.  Well done.

David this is wonderful. Amazing depth and colors. Not really needed, but you might experiment with a bit less of the tree on the right and a bit less of the gray clouds on top?

David,  I just saw that repost.  It's a good improvement on a lovely image.
