Las Vegas Temple - Sepia
Here's the sepia version of the image I posted on 11-6-07. It took a little more work than I expected because when I converted it from color the high, thin clouds tended to disappear in the dark sky. I had to tweak it a little to bring them back. The image looks very contrasty and dramatic without them, but I think the wispy clouds add a little character to the sky.
I haven't received much feedback from the locals, but I'd like to hear what they think about this composition. It's the most dramatic one I found, but it's hard to get a good sense of the overall shape and size of the Temple from this vantage point. Sometimes the hometown folks are a little particular about how their Temple is portrayed, and I can always use the constructive criticism.

Richard, I like this picture. It's one of the better ones I've seen of the Vegas Temple, which I've never thought was one of the more beautiful ones, at least from the outside. I know what you mean about "the overall shape and size" from this perspective, but this is the most beautiful angle of the Temple, and I think you can see that it extends back a good distance simply because of the perspective of Moroni in the back right part of the photograph.

Richard,
Not my favorite. In color this picture is awesome. It is a nice angle, has a picturesque sky, and some good contrast. This one though seems computer generated. The temple looks kind of plastic and the light on the palm trees looks unnatural. I think it might be cool if you gave it the same effect as the darker of your last SLC Temple posting. Just a thought.
