A very old deserted rowboat falling to pieces sits on the island of Stora Gråskär in the S:t Anna archipelago, Sweden.
It was just beautiful as a stilleben over nature's circle of life. Unused, the boat will disappear into the wilderness again.

Interesting facts

The picture was taken on infrared bl&w neg film. A black filter was used in front of the lens, only letting through the infrared wavelengths. In nature, chlorophyll reflects this light to protect the plant from heat, making leaves and grass white in the photographs. Only dust and moisture reflect the light in the sky, making clear skies appear dark. This photograph shows a quite crowded atmosphere. As you move the camera toward the backlight, the sky will become lighter as you get closer to the sun. The infrared light will increase in intensity.

The fog lingered dense over the seascape on this particular day, causing the contrast to soften up.

Kodak bl&w Infrared High-Speed Film 2484 (now discontinued) with a Kodak Wratten black filter nr. 87. The film hand developed by the photographer. Negative scanned 2020, adjusted, balanced, and retouched from scratches and dust in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, preparing it for Fine Art prints.
