This series of three photographs was shot at the Mission San Juan Bautista in the town of the same name in central California (to learn more about Mission San Juan Bautista click on the link above).

I shot these pictures with my Canon 5D SLR but I only had a fixed focal length lens so any zooming had to be done by walking closer. I took three different shots of the mission. The first was the wide shot.

The wide shot was not very satisfying so I walked closer to get a view of this statue of Saint John the Baptist after whom the mission is named.

But it was not until I walked even closer and got this third shot that I finally had a picture I liked. So, even if you don’t have a telephoto or zoom lens, that does not mean you can’t get the same effects. It just takes more walking.
