I like the 3rd and 5th of this set


You should have shot it at night. I think it is much better with the lights on.

From last March-





From across the street

Here is one from a wedding I shot about a month ago.

This could end up being a great thread. I think that your shots turned out very well (along with the others that have posted examples as well). I enjoyed looking through them.

This is obviously one of the more photographed structures in the country, but it is well deserving of such attention. I will have to dig through the archives and see what I can add to this...

Any more to the story of your visit?

Really well done Shaun - nice halo effect around the statue. I like the third one the best.

Great series Aaron. I'm only 3.5 hours away from Salt Lake and I haven't shot temple square yet. I'm planning on going down the end of March. I'll be staying just a couple blocks from temple square so I'll take my camera. Some great opportunities for some great photos. The history is amazing as well. 40 years in construction! It is an amazing structure. Have you been in the restaraunt on the top floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (The Old Hotel Utah)? Amazing photo location especially at night.

It is also nice in the fall ....
You can get a fun reflection shot of the chapel if you point your camera over the wall above the statue of the pioneers.

Heading to Temple Square on Friday – hope to get some shots that are worth posting to this thread.

I'm also heading down tomorrow for the weekend. Hope to spend some time there as well. I'll look for a Dgrin smile behind a 20D.

That's two dgrinners and their 20D's down there this weekend - anyone else? Let's hope for nice weather! Look forward to seeing some of your shots Steve.

Temple Square Shooting
As far as the landscaping goes, the grass is still trying to recover from the snow. However, they should have tons of tulips out.

Weather - Friday is going to be a better day for shooting than Saturday.

Thanks for the weather update. I can't wait to see tempertures above 40. Haven't seen those for months. Better break out the shorts.

Sweet- look forward to seeing some more shots of the temple.

There is an old Catholic church a few blocks from the Temple that is pretty cool as well. You may be interested in shooting that as well.

This is a beautiful shot of a beautiful building. Do I remember right, this is the one you can hear the church bells from?

Thanks!

Not sure about the bells. I was visiting my brother in Salt Lake a year ago and we went down to the Temple. I convinced them to take my son back with them so I could wander around down town for a little while. Not even sure which direction this is from the Temple just it was a few blocks.

its directly east, stay on south temple if my memory is correct...i lived a few blocks from there for a few months.....never heard a bell....but then again, at that time i didnt care for the finer things in life......

now, in this stage of life, here in st.george i enjoy the clock tower bells on the tabernacle building daily...
