Saturday was a photography day! First I got up early to get some shots of the new Draper Temple. I am really happy with the results I got. Getting there before the sun comes up is key. It was a really cloudy and rainy morning which made it a little miserable. I constantly had to keep my lens clear of spots. To help increase the blue in the sky I set my white balance to tungsten. This gives the white balance a cooler (temperature) look.
After that I met up with Luke Isley and went up Big Cottonwood Canyon. I can not remember any time I have ever been up that canyon. I have gone up Little Cottonwood a lot. But we found a spot near the road and hiked about 10 min off the road to get some stream shots. I used my polarized filter to keep glare to a minimum. I shot at a slow shutter speed to give the water the silky look. I also have a ND filter that I can put on, but didn’t need to because of the overcast day which made it dark enough to get the longer exposure I was looking for.
Then we had a photography meet up with the Photowalking Utah group. It was at a greenery called Cactus and Tropicals. We had a really great time taking photos with a great group of people.
