Now That's a Bridge!

Today's post is the only digital/analog comparison I've attempted thus far. I wasn't really trying to do it, but I just happened to shoot the same scene with both cameras. While I do like the coloring in the bottom one, I'll only be framing the one on top. It'll be in a REALLY big frame too.

Which one do you like out of the two?

I Found the Real Farmville

Farmland adjecent to Mission Soledad - Soledad, CA, December 2012, Lubitel 2, 75mm f4.5, Ilford HP5+ 400 ISO, Yellow Filter

Mission Soledad is smack dab in the middle of a huge farming area. I took this shot using a yellow filter to darken the sky and to make the clouds stand out a bit. Unfortunately, it looks like my thumb was trying to make itself seen in the bottom right corner. It's not too fun going to a place that has a dirt and rock parking lot just after a good rain. At the entrance there was a big mud pit that looked like I would get stuck unless I sped through it fast. Thankfully, I didn't get stuck.

Follow the Water Trail

La Purisima Concepcion, Dec 2012 - Shot with Canon 10D, Canon 50mm f1.8, ISO 400,1/1250 @ f 10

This was a mini aqueduct the natives built to bring the water down to the village from the cistern just about a hundred yards away. Make sure to bring a bag full of salt when you visit this mission. It was on Ghost Adventures and creepy as hell when you walk around the buildings. Fair warning. :-)
