Lenten Mission


I had this idea to try something a little different last night. Around Easter the church drapes a purple cloth over the cross in front of the Santa Barbara Mission.

I thought I'd try making an image of that (the cloth draped cross) just after sunset with the Mission in the background.

The Mission is lit up at night, but the cross isn't and would need to be lit by flash.

So, that is exactly with I did. I lit the cross with my flash and finished my 2.5 second exposure with the Mission and waning light in the background.

As you can see, I need a little more practice. I was just happy that the concept will in fact work.
