Chocolate Thunda from Down Unda

There's an old mission in Tallahassee, supposedly from the 1500s or sometime in that era known as "really long ago," affectionately (and also officially) called Mission San Luis.

These are from that same mission, on a day in particular where all of the workers, who dress up as 1500-ians and mill about the place, were gone.  Sad day.  But very cool nonetheless.

It was a cloudy-ish day, but one of those where it's sunny underneath, so it's still kinda bright...more like a giant softbox than anything.  So it was all naturally lit, which gives it a very natural feel, and definitely is fitting for an archaic pile of rocks like this (in my opinion).

And, yes, I forgot it was my day.  Sorry :(

I was wearing a red shirt when I took these.

All these photos were taken with my 17-50 2.8
All except the second one were taken at f/ 2.8 the second one was taken at f/3.2
The shutter speed for all of them was 1/6, the ISO for them all was 400.

Location was my hall way.
