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!
