Temple and Tabernacle

One of the reaons I wanted to upgrade to digital was that there were certain photos I wanted to take in my hometown.  I was walking each day along Main Street and thinking about pictures I could shoot, but the idea of using film, finding a place to get them developed -- and hopefully get the negatives on a CD -- all seemed a bit much.  With film I would be limited to the number of exposures per roll, whereas with digital I am basically unlimited -- think of a roll of 36 exposures compared to a memory card that can hold as much as 300 photos.

One of the first photos I wanted to shoot involved the standout subject of Main Street, the Bountiful Tabernacle.  I also wanted a photo with the tabernacle and the Bountiful LDS Temple.  In the photo above, you can see that I also got part of the post office.

I tried again in December, at night, from a different angle.

What I needed was a telephoto lens.  But now I was pretty sure I had the right spot.

After finally getting the shot I wanted, I decided to play around with the pop art and black and white features of my camera.
