Far away columns that survived the earthquake 500 years ago, purposely highlighted with a shallow depth of field. Shot at f/4, 400mm, and a Canon Extender EF 1.4x III between the camera and the lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM. The effective mm was 222. Antigua, Guatemala.
An endless room with green and red highlights.
This is one of the first photographs I ever published. When I published it, I named it Benchmark, and suggested that a quiet seat on the bench might be just the antidote for a busy life. It was taken in a monastery in Antigua, Guatemala, that was nearly 500 years old (see the earthquake damage repair in the patterns in the plaster). Mamiya RZ-67. 1991.
