The "White
Dove of the Desert" is a magnificent structure seemingly rising
out of the desert a few miles south of Tucson. The Catholic church was
built in 1783. You can read about the Mission here. While I shot this
photograph on color slide film, I envisioned it in black and white because
I knew that the white building against the cloud-streaked deep-blue sky
could yield dramatic results. The version shown here was produced in
Photoshop by emphasizing the Red color channel, essentially the same
concept as adding a deep red filter in front of B+W film. |
