I loved how the beautiful the temple looked with the sky. So I decided to get some pictures of the Temple. I used a small aperture so that I could get the whole temple sharp and in focus. I did not want the Temple to be a silhouette, because the sun was directly behind it, so I focused on the ground first and then took the picture of the Temple. I merged these three images together by first opening the photos Storm and The House of the Lord in a separate Photoshop document. Then I used the channels to select a proportion of the images. I drug the photo onto the Temple photograph and then I changed the opacity on the layers. I then placed a layer mask on the Storm picture so that I could remove some of the picture that was in the blue sky and blend it into the temple picture better.
