Title: Early Winter morning at Mission Espada Description: 12x18 Print, with 2 inch border; On 01/08/2011, an early January morning this photo was taken right after the Mission San Juan photo. This was a twofer photo expedition - the plan was to photograph Mission San Juan but at the last minute I thought I could get some good light at Mission Espada.
Title: Morning at Mission San Juan Description: 12X18 print with 2 inch border; Today Malinda and I left the house at approximate 0540 hrs / 01/08/2011 to take photos of Mission San Juan; grid: 29° 19′ 57.67″ N, 98° 27′ 19.04″ W. Arrived in the dark, set up the camera and took a series photos at 1600 iso, A little hard to focus, but I think I nailed some good night shots. Waited for the golden hour, switched the setting back to 200 iso with a 9 bracket shot; very little cloud cover this morning. Malinda was sleeping in the car while I was setting up for that prefect shot of Mission San Juan. it was a little breezy at about 45 degrees I had to jump back in the car several times to warm up. Just before the sun broke through the horizon, the sky turned a golden color, I checked the setting one more time and snapped a bracket of 9 shots with a Nikon D700 and a 70 200 mm lens
