Tree of Life

This is one of my favorite HDR photos of the Salt Lake City Temple. Go to the Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi, chapter 8 and read Lehi's account of a dream he had about a tree of life then return and study this photo. It is all there, the river of water, rod of iron, strait and narrow path, tree of life and finally God's love for his children represented by His greatest gift to His children-the temple.

Tabernacle and Temple

This is the daytime version of the following HDR photo. The sidewalk gives a nice pathway to the viewer that brings your eye to the temple.

Tabernacle and Temple Night

The lights that are aimed at the Angel Moroni that stands atop the temple bath it in a wonderful golden glow. This lights of the tabernacle also offer a nice invitation to the viewer that all are welcome here.

SLC Temple in the Clouds

This rendition of the Salt Lake City Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints appears to be floating in the clouds with a fading vignette applied to this HDR capture.

SLC Temple B&W

After shooting this HDR and tonemapping it I was quite unhappy with the results. I took it into B&W and bumped up the red and intensity and clarity and it came out quite nice. I enjoy the way it towers above its setting.

SL Temple Aglow

As I look at this scene I get the feeling that there may be some kind of a heavenly meeting happening just beyond those trees, I can see the Celestial Light glowing on the temple.

Mother and Son

This rather tender moment between a mother and son in front of the Salt Lake City Temple depicts the kind of relationships that are fostered by the Church through the Holy Temples that are scattered across the world.
