March 2025 - REYKJANES Lighthouse, Iceland
About the Image(s)
Recently I was fortunate enough to travel to Iceland. And luckily for me one night the northern lights were visible to my camera (although hardly visible to the naked eye!). This Lighthouse is on a peninsula near the capitol of Reykjavik. The lighthouse was built in 1907-1908 and stands 69 meters above sea level although the lighthouse itself is 26 meters tall. The image was made at about midnight. My goal was to capture the night sky

Bravo. This is a great image and if I am a judge, award winning. I think the decision to place the lighthouse and its ground low in the composition is well done. You have enough of the aurora and the stars to make for an interesting sky. Luck you, luck us. Posted: 03/04/2025 18:56:18
Thanks Jay. I appreciate your kind words!

Hi Norm,
Stunning image! You managed to capture the magnificence of the aurora borealis. The lighthouse is positioned well to balance the scene. I like the different green tones of the sky. Well done! Posted: 03/14/2025 17:28:24

Thanks Mel. It was certainly worth being out there on a cold & windy night!
