Pool

The water is out of the 50-metre competition pool, the 25-metre dive tank, and the 25-metre teaching pool for regular maintenance and updates. The wave, teaching and dive pools are scheduled to re-open October 27. The 32 year old water slide is out and is scheduled for replacement this fall.

These photos were taken with a phone looking down and across through the glass walls on the upper floor of the complex. I attempted (with only moderate success) to reduce the perspective distortion by placing the lens side of the phone flat and straight against the glass wall.


Technical: iPhone 14, Pro Max , ISO 64, 1/155 sec, f/1.8, handheld

note: as mentioned in previous posts, a wide angle ‘special purpose’ lens called a tilt-lens has physical adjustments to eliminate these issues before a photo is made. (place tilt-shift in the search box to see examples)
