Printing Press

This is in the Church History Museum in SLC. It is the press that the first copies of the Book of Mormon were printed on. I shot it essentially in the dark. I used my D200, 18-135 at 22mm, EV +1, ISO 1600 in aperture priority. It is a 5 shot HDR processed in Photomatix Pro. I turned down the tone to get it to look like an old photo shot in sepia color.  LYLE

4th Dimension


This is a ceiling detail in the North Visitors Center on Temple Square. It is one of the buildings that I would like you to have the opportunity to photograph. It is a 5 shot HDR stepped 1.3 at f/4.  LYLE

Abandoned in the surf


As I was shooting the pier at Cocoa Beach, FL I had to run from the waves to keep my feet dry and warm. I didn't intend to abandon my camera and all of my gear but that water was COLD! I shot this with Judi's Cannon point and shoot.  LYLE

Eagle Gate Revisited


So Danelle, is this better? I had to clone stamp out a stop light that was way ugly and this time I was able to wait until there were no cars in the scene. You can also see the Church Administration Building and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building beside Brigham Youngs residences. The Salt Lake Temple is out of sight due to these buildings.  LYLE

Pelican

I had my 70-300 lens on set at 70mm, this little guy was close enough that I could have easily grabbed it.  It kept a close eye on me though.  Aperture priority, 1/2000 shutter, f/5, ISO 500.  LYLE

Cocoa Beach Pier Totem

This little totem was located below the counter on the refreshment bar on the pier.  It caught my eye just as we were leaving the area.  I had to almost lay down on the pier to get the shot.  I turned the areas around it to black and white to get a little better contrast for it.  ISO 400, shutter 1/180, f/5 aperture priority.  LYLE

Eagle Gate

This is called The Eagle Gate, it stands at the intersection of State Street and South Temple in SLC. Just to the left of it stands the Beehive house and next to it the Lion House. They were residences of Brigham Young. The big building in the background is where I work. This is a 5 shot HDR +1 EV, f/8, tonemapped with PhotoMatix.  LYLE
