Triq Tas-Sema (3D); 2015

This shot (and another one from Ireland taken in 2009) is one of those rare shots that I've literally stopped gazing mindlessly before shooting it, meditating in its majesty. Where I live, we don't quite get such clouds formations, thus seeing something like that, in a quiet countryside pathway, induces amazing feelings of joy deep inside of me. I wanted to just sit there and gaze, forgetting everything about my problems, and my camera and photography altogether. Luckily, back home, I've realized that I've made two shots of the scene so I was able to merge them in one anaglyph. Making anaglyphs out of fisheye shots is quite tricky as well, but I think this one ended up well. Another strange thing about this anaglyph as well is that the B&W version didn't quite work well it seems; usually, colors cause ghosting and hence anaglyphs perform better in B&W to perceive the depth or the illusion better. However, this is not the case here, where the colored version is relatively better in depth than the B&W!

***Note: I tried my best to match the original colors of the image here on Pixelfed, using the provided filters, since the color space is not recognized and the colors change significantly. I will leave a link in the comments to the one with the original colors posted on Cara.
