With spring springing I have started to return to Jones Beach on New York's Long Island. The photo is of a "Splash Pad Park" funded by the Dave Matthews Band. The bent pipes caught my eye, and I was quite intrigued by them. Walking around the installation I took five different shots with my M5 and a Laowa 9 mm f/2.8; I felt the super wide angle lens (14.4 mm FF equivalent) would let me get inside the whole thing and show it off well. I made some modest contrast and saturation increases, otherwise the photo is a straight shot. No polarizer, no minus exposure compensation, no nothing. I will admit, however, that I plan to return with a polarizer and a tripod to see if I can improve on the concept. Stay tuned!

nice isolation against the background, andycollins4716. What lens and aperture?

 

Thank you! I used the 100-400L at f/7.1, 1/250s, ISO 6400. Sometimes I get lucky and grab a good background; other times I have to take whatever I can get based on the bird's position combined with lighting conditions.

What a fascinating photo, JDM! I looked this place up to learn more about it and it really is very interesting. You have photographed some really incredible locations, and this is certainly one of them! I really look forward to these shots from you!
