One from Coney Island / Leica M-4


This building was part of the Tornado roller coaster complex. This is now the site of Keyspan Stadium, the home of the Brooklyn Cyclones. It was shot on a bright winter day from the boardwalk. The lens was the 50 mm Summicron F2. The film was Tri-x developed in D-76 in 1:1 dilution.
