This abstract photo, captured inside a lighthouse with a small 35mm-format mirrorless camera and a 50mm lens, is mostly a visual pun on the concept of a lighthouse, as well as a study in diagonal and radiating lines.

It was very tight quarters, especially with the tripod. But a tripod was essential here (less for sharpness - at 1/3000 sec - than for composition and framing).

@mattblaze@federate.social – to me it immediately invoked a fresnel lens, which adds another layer to the pun.

@mattblaze@federate.social very nice (I'm a fan of lighthouses) - what are we looking at in that image? Looking at it on Flickr it looks like it might be part of a wall illuminated by the window?
