I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT…
This San Diego temple is one of the most impressive architectural landmarks I’ve seen in a while. I’ve seen this building several times as it’s located immediately adjacent to the freeway leading to San Diego. But, I had never exited the freeway to take a closer look…until this day. While driving to the Cabrillo National Monument, I determined to return to photograph this temple.
The architects for the San Diego Temple were William S. Lewis, Jr., design architect; Dennis Hyndman, project architect; and Shelly Hyndman, interior design architect.
The San Diego Temple - San Diego, California
I photographed a Greek Orthodox Temple a few months ago and now the san Diego Temple. I’ve walked away from each experienced amazed by the architecture! And this day presented an amazing photographic opportunity with its deep blue skies and billowy white clouds as a spectacular backdrop for such an architectural wonder! Albeit, the spires did present a significant extension distortion problem as they were determined to drastically warp toward each other. But, even that was overcome through some Photoshop distortion correction techniques. You may be seeing that in an upcoming photography tip. Stay tuned!

The sky definitely enhances the shot, Kuukisu! With landscape photography, it’s one of the most important elements – the sky! On a day like this one, you just lick your chops wondering where to shoot first! 🙂

I love the milky whites and the way the clouds seem to be draped between the spires. Lovely building and so nicely presented. Thank you for helping me out with my delima, I really appreciate it. I know I don’t comment often (I don’t often have something to add) but I do ‘lurk’ and appreciate the images and conversations here very much.

I think the neat thing about the San Diego temple is you can see it from long distances not only in La Jolla in San Diego!
It is always interesting to read people’s thoughts on art blogs. I think it is a good way to share information between us artists and give us exposure.

This is SO beautiful. I grew up in SD, was at the dedication for this temple and was married there. This temple holds a very special place in my heart. 🙂 I have been on the lookout for a picture that captures my style so that I can have it printed on a large canvas to hang in my home. How does this work…is your image free for reprinting(I didn’t want to assume just because of the title of your blog) and if so how does the copyright stuff work? Thanks again for the beautiful shot! 🙂 ALL your pictures are just so great!
