Mission San José y San Miguel de Aguayo, San Antonio, Texas
Kodak BW400Cn | Nikkor 35~105mm 1:3.5 @ 90mm | f/22 | 1/15 sec | Y48 + Polarizer

For those uninitiated in the effective use of filters in black & white photography, below is a comparison image with no filter applied. Note how the sunlit dome is almost without detail. While exposure #24 (filtered image) is a bit darker than I had envisioned… I expect that either an additional stop of exposure or even tweaking the Polarizer a bit more, would have lightened the southern face of the mission and allowed a bit more detail in those shadowed areas.
