Lighthouse Park on a cloudy morning
Lighthouse Park in St Augustine has a fishing pier, picnic area, boat ramp, kayak and canoe launch, and public parking. Sea birds such as Great Egrets are commonly seen here. There is a shaded area for picnic. I used 24 mm Tilt Shift, 55 mm Zeiss Otus, and Canon 400 mm 2.8 II lens with a 1.4x teleconverter on a Canon EOS R5. I used a Sekonic spot meter for the exposure measurement.
