Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4.0G IF-ED
Location: Salt Lake City, Utah
Date: Nov 18, 2006
Aperture: f4
ISO: 500
Shutter: 0.7 sec

Date Uploaded: Nov 28, 2006

 HDR of DSC_3976, using 5 versions in CS2. PP included Curves, HS, B/C, Noise reduction, USM, and Glausian Blur to reduce noise in the sky.

The Salt Lake Temple is always a favorite of mine, especially when it is lit. Fourty years in the building, it is a sacred building to the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and provided a symbolic light in the darknes as well as a literal light on the cityscape.

This is just stunning, and I love the composition, the nighttime shot perspective, the sharpness, the drama, and also the image itself..... Excellent in everyway.....

Great position to take this photo from. Much more interesting than a ground shot.

Think it would be better if you step down the exposure about 1 stop or so.

Excellent composition. The highlights in the tower are a notch too bright for me, but a really cool night shot. Best of luck to you in the challenge!

Looks just a tad muzzy? But a great vantage point.
