Tulips

Exactly 12 years ago I got married.  Here in this building.  We had the most beautiful tulips in all of our wedding pictures.  This is my absolute favorite month at the temple!!!

Composition

This is something I will have to consciously think about for awhile- composition.  Have part of the shot be "framed" with something (like the pine tree on the right).  Have the horizon either above or below the middle of the shot (mountains).  Pay attention to the rule of thirds (Dont put the main focus directly in the middle of the shot (temple).  I think I got lucky on this shot that it all ended up correctly.  I was paying attention to the pine tree and I didnt even think about the mountains and the temple.

Temple

I wanted to scope out the temple grounds.  It was locked for the day so I could not get up close.  I can't wait to go back and put the camera on manual mode to try new things.  This has got to be one of the prettiest spots to photograph.  Espeically when we either 1- finally get some snow and 2- when the tulips and leaves come back.
