Graveyard Tulips

1/400 second, f/4.5

Mission Dolores graveyard seemed like a place that would cast some interesting shadows, late in the afternoon.

Working in such hard sunlight the slightest tilt could alter the digital readings in the viewfinder tremendously. I made all kinds of different exposures, curious to see what worked and what didn't. Everything today was ISO 400.
