More California Mission photography

After nearly 20 years, I finally got back to San Juan Bautista, this time with my RB67. My previous effort came up a bit short, with only a couple of outside shots, since the courtyard and museum were closed at that time.

This time, I paid the entrance fee and got full access to explore.  A few of the TriX 400 B&W images are below. I did get a few on Ektar, but need to develop and scan. I will post a few of those in a later post.

The Alter

I am nearly half way through on my Missions Project, and I have visited almost half of the 21 California Missions.  I have added it to my 2019 goals, so we'll see!

Exploring with the RB67

Learning to use new gear takes time. Time behind the lens, head down in the waist level viewfinder, and testing various functions, knobs and levers.

It also takes time developing a new workflow.  Minor tweaks to the thought process, and developing a new flow while out in the field.  Several recent trips have helped me to do just that.

The challenge is to just take the camera out, and keep it with you, loaded with film.  And then, seize the opportunities as they come up.

Such as... in the coffee shop!

Or at the local nursery...

Or even just out playing.

Keep practicing! Eventually, I will get better and feel confident taking it out to bigger and more exciting photo shoots.
