It is a laborious process to convert black and white medium format film to a digital image. First, I scan all the images into a directory. \u00a0Once I have a digital copy, I use Photoshop to remove\u00a0chemical blemishes and dust\u00a0spots. I then import them into Lightroom and fix the tonality, straighten and crop the image. Once I have a clean image I can then make it part of the collection. Each image takes about 20 minutes to scan and fix. I shot a total of 7 rolls of film with 12 images on each roll (82 images total). \u00a0Surprisingly enough, 95% of the images look acceptable. \u00a0I mentioned before that digital photography has made me less disciplined.\u00a0 I noticed that my composition and exposure was much better with these images. \u00a0I&#8217;ve got to work on getting my discipline back&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The image below is of the front door of Mission Espada. The mission is actually named <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mission_San_Francisco_de_la_Espada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mission San Francisco de la Espada<\/a>. \u00a0It\u00a0was established in 1690 by Spain in what was then known as northern New Spain. \u00a0The mission was built in order to convert local Native Americans to Christianity and solidify Spanish territorial claims in the New World against encroachment from France.\u00a0Today, the structure is one of four missions that comprise <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/San_Antonio_Missions_National_Historical_Park\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Antonio Missions National Historical Park<\/a>. I posted about <a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/arches\/\">Mission San Jose<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/more-arches\/\">Mission Concepcion<\/a> a few days ago.\u00a0\u00a0I just love the craftsmanship and detailed design of the door. It has definitely stood up to time (325 years worth&#8230;). Modern doors would never survive this long!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4721\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4721\" style=\"width: 1186px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2008-03-SA-Missions-084.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4721\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/espada\/mission-espada-main-door\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/2008-03-SA-Missions-084.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1186,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
