The Glow of the Bahai Temple by taffy

The Glow of the Bahai Temple

By this time in our walk, our fingers and toes were numb, so this was from my final set of shots. I used focus stacking as I was hoping I could get a clear focus on the trees and sunsetting sky in the distance, as well as all the layers of temple, from base through dome. I admit, I was happy with how this came out. The end of a wonderful day!
Junko's from the same time period (but without a tripod as she said her fingers were too cold to open it) is here: http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2016-01-22
She's amazing at how clear she got the shot without a tripod!
Beautiful!

Nicely captured! It is a beautiful piece of architecture.

Wonderful capture of the range of tones: cooling sky, warm interior light and trying-to-be-whites of the foreground metalwork. Fav.

Wonderful capture of this unique architecture...great focus, lighting

Beautiful light, both in the sky and on the temple

Fav for your glowing beauty here! Setting up the tripod again worked out with all that focus stacking. I leaned against a pole for stability but only took three exposure HDR. Can't wait to go again when it's covered in snow next. So many possibilities.

WOW - Fantastic!

Wow, beautiful!

Wow, your stacked shots came out sharp as a tack. Wonderful result for this shot... as @jyokota says, a "glowing" building. The sun, setting in the background, adds to the beauty. Good for you, to brave the cold and fuss with the tripod.

Absolutely stunning ! --A fav

@redy4et Thanks! It's in Wilmette, which is a suburb north of the city by about 40 minutes. Not far from where Junko lives.
January 23rd, 2016  
Such a beautiful building and your focus stacking had worked so well! Lovely image! Fav!

That looks so beautifl, Taffy.
January 23rd, 2016  
*beautiful even. :)

lovely
January 23rd, 2016  
I think I probably like this one the best - just excellent!
January 23rd, 2016  
All three of these shots are stunning and each so different. I think this has to be my favourite but the textured one is a close second!
January 23rd, 2016  
Love all your shots of this temple. Makes me want to visit.
January 23rd, 2016  
Wonderful shot Taffy, you are so good at showcasing this fabulous structure!

Gorgeous

Love the lights
January 23rd, 2016  
Beautiful. I've been enjoying seeing the different ways you and Junko take shots of the same things. On this image though, you were pretty similar.
January 24th, 2016  
@skstein True -- we were standing, literally, almost next to each other. The only difference here was tripod versus handheld.
January 24th, 2016  
What a great shot, Taffy. I love the 3D look. It is like it can pop out of your photo or one is in the same place with this Temple. FAV
January 24th, 2016  
I like this temple better at night! Gorgeous!
January 24th, 2016  
this is lovely... i wonder if you need to focus stack at that distance? i would have thought you were far enough back from the temple for f/11 or so to get it all?
