I took these photos at sunrise on a Saturday morning. The temple sits atop a hill on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley, so when the sun rises it strikes the front of the temple and gives it a nice warm color. This was my first experiment with using the raw camera format. I had to install an update to Photoshop Elements in order to edit the raw files, but the control it gave me in manipulating the output was fantastic. It took quite a lot of time to figure out how to do what I wanted, but now I’m hooked. Using raw will allow me to concentrate more on composition when the photos really count. Fun stuff!
I have looked through all the images of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple and absolutely LOVE yours. Is there any way I can purchase 12 wallet-sized copies of the top one shown here for the 8-year-old children in my Primary class? The only problem is that I need them by this Saturday, December 11th. How much would you charge me? I would also like a 5 x 7 for myself.
We are doing a special testimony lesson and I am giving each of the children a picture of Joseph Smith, one of Pres. Monson, one of the Savior, and one of our Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Then they are each going to engrave their testimonies of these things on gold plates. I have already gone to some expense to purchase these other items and don’t really have much to spend on the temple pictures, but I am willing to pay what I can. Please let me know ASAP! Thanks so much!
Sincerely, Rebekah Anderson
