Infrared Dawn - a photo on Flickriver

Infrared Dawn

            I'm happy to call this an experiment, and even happier that it succeeded. When I arrived at the Cape Bruny Lighthouse it was still well before dawn. In the cold darkness (with the aid of a small flashlight) I started to plan what shots I would take when the sun's first rays appeared. In my bag was the little converted compact camera I use for monochromatic infrareds.

Infrared light is beyond the visible spectrum and can't be seen with the naked eye or your typical camera. My hunch was that even before the visible sun's rays appeared to my eye infrared might be able to be captured by my converted Panasonic DMC-TZ40 compact camera. So I pointed where I guessed the sun would rise, and the result is reproduced here. In the next infrared photograph you'll see what appears in the lower dark portion of this photo. 

It reminds me that even in darkness, when light appears, it cannot be quenched.
