Tip-Toe Through the Temple Grounds

 

 

Last night I stopped by the Boise Temple to do some “homework” for wedding and to take a few pictures for an upcoming Enrichment event.  I believe that it is fair to say that the Boise Temple has one of the smallest grounds with the exception of those literally in the middle of a city.  From a photography stand point, it makes it rather difficult to get “that” shot.  All the pictures that I have seen of the BT have been shot with either a fisheye lens or from across the street or interstate with a wide angle.  I have a wide, didn’t venture across the very busy Cole road and this was the best I got.  Hardly the whole enchilada; maybe the crusty end of tortilla that baked into a rock because there was no sauce to keep it tasty and all the bubbly-hot cheese oozed off – it’s about that good.

 

Yes, more phun with Photoshop.

I took that… me, I did.  Sorry, sometimes I have to convince myself.

 

Back to the enrichment thing…

Maybe something like this.  I dunno, my creative brain is rebelling against me.

The more I look at it, the more I tear it apart.  I think the G needs to be the entire frame or just about.

The RS theme this summer is

Sacred Homes, Sacred Temples

after Elder Gary E. Stevenson’s

conference talk.

 

It’ll be a 12x12” print decoupage onto a tile and distressed/antiqued as one would like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, the grounds made up for my frustration with these beautiful roses.  I’ve been rockin’ manual lately, actually the whole time there and it’s amazing what a few changes to the settings can do.  Success or complete and utter failure.  No photoshop phun, just processed into JPEG’s from the NEF files I shoot in. 

 

Hey, Chick.  Thought you’d appreciate the eye-candy.  lol
