So the Conference report Ensign is out, and if you have seen it, you have noticed that all of the photos are in color instead of the traditional black and white. I wondered how it would come out, but I have to admit I like the change. I especially liked shooting with color in mind. It was always disappointing when an awesome color photo became a mediocre black and white photo while editing the shoot. Now I can be disappointed when I can’t simply desaturate a mediocre color photo to a black and white image. Anyway, I love the blue sky over the conference center at twilight (seen on pg. 113).

Descending and ascending stairs. There are no shortage of stairs around the conference center (pages 13 and 39).

Don’t worry, you don’t have to take the stairs if you don’t want to (pages 107 and 84).

(pages 81 and 90)

I started photographing these cute girls (unpublished) and decided to get the whole family in there just in case (page 22).

The Christus statue in the North Visitor Center, using the tilt-shift lens to set the focus on the nail prints and the face (page 76).

Inside the conference center (page 3).

* Edit: So I was looking through the printed Ensign and I noticed that this photo of the First Presidency was actually used on page 9. I originally put this as one of my favorite unpublished photos.

All in all, it was a good conference. I’m still making my way through the talks, trying to catch what I missed. I have a few other favorite photos that didn’t get published that I’ll try to throw up in the next few days.
