ate in the day, wandering around Fort Scott with both my infrared rig on a monopod and the Canon 5D strapped around my neck, I made a series of exposures of the old Victorian buildings. On the 5D was mounted the Zeiss 45mm f2.8 Tessar lens, which I was operating as a point-and-shoot camera. The light was grand and very few people were present, so capture opportunities were plentiful. This image is stitched together from two snapshots, demonstrating the resolving power of the small lens by revealing the intricate structural embellishments of the era.
