Winter Wonderland

One of the ways to get images you normally would not get is sometimes just to turn around. I remembered that advise from Jay Maisel that I read not long ago on Scott Kelby's blog, and this is exactly what I had to do to capture this image.

I was taking a picture of Provo Temple, which I will post later, but then I decided to turn around and I was immediately attracted to how the setting sun enveloped the Nativity scene in front of this pool and how steam coming from the water was providing additional contrast. To capture better range of detail, I used two ND Grad filters, a total of 5-stop.

Sometimes additional shots are just one turn or one step away from us.

Hope you are all having great holidays!
