Description

Over the years, many fishery outfits were situated near Hvalnes lighthouse in the East of Iceland because of its close proximity to excellent fishing grounds. Many Icelanders from the northern parts used to come here seasonally to return home with their catch and make a living. This bright orange concrete structure stands 11.5 meter (38 feet) high along the ocean coast and marks a prominent cape, the Austerhorn, on the southeastern corner of the country. It was constructed in 1954 by engineer Axel Sveinsson and house designer Einar Stefánsson and put into operation the following year. The light still operates to this day with two white flashes that are emitted every 20 seconds from a 29-meter (95-foot) focal plane. My last trip to Iceland in February 2022, I only took a few Infrared Images (and quite regret it). This location I'd visited several times before looked so new and completely different from the lens of my camera. I love how the (originally Orange) lighthouse turned out a stark white via IR. I shot this image on my Sony A7riii converted to full spectrum infrared. Infrared, or “IR” photography, offers photographers of all abilities the opportunity to explore a new world – the world of the unseen. Why “unseen”? Because our eyes literally cannot see IR light, as it lies just beyond what is classified as the “visible” spectrum – that which human eyesight can detect.
