After reviewing yesterday's photos, I suddenly had an idea of shooting the statue of San Juan Bautista with the Zeiss 100mm. Once the idea was conceived, I knew I got to do it! So yet again I drove to Mission San Juan Bautista, with the Zeiss 100mm and my tripod in hand (since I planned to use a small aperture to keep the Bell Tower in focus, hand holding my camera was not an option). I took about 10 shots, and this one was the only composition that worked. Though the light was too harsh to my liking (too much shadow), the photo at least partially achieved what I had in mind. The perfect shot, alas, will always be the next one.
P.S. come to think about it, a 135mm probably will work even better for this shot. However, the priority of that lens is low on my shopping list so I am not going to get one any time soon. I promise I will do a reshoot of this one and my beloved "Morticia Addams" when I get a 135mm.
