"Dawn's Early Light"

Watercolor version

A couple of years ago when I got to work in the morning the sunrise was magnificent.  When I saw the colored flag with the fall colors and the colored sky I just had to take this picture.  I hope that you like it.

St. George LDS Temple

Original Photo

 A few years ago my wife and I went down to St. George, UT to escape the colder Wasatch Front weather.    It was certainly warmer there.  It was actually uncomfortable to sleep it was so much warmer.  I guess I need gradual changes in temperature.

   Close to sunset my wife and I went to see the Temple and I took this picture.  I love how white the building is.  from a distance it really stands out.

Springtime at Temple Square

Original photo

Color Charcoal version

Last May 4th my wife and I were at Temple Square for our anniversary.  The flowers were finally blooming even with the spring being really cold and wet.  I saw the yellow tulips and thought they would make a great Picture with all the other colors behind it.  I also thought the charcoal filter made for a nice artistic appearance.

Sunset in Farmington Bay, UT

original photo

"finger paint" filter

A few weeks ago I was in Farmington Bay for my other job and the sunset was as glorious as I've ever seen.  The only thing about this photo is that it reveals the imperfections of my camera.  I use a Kodak Easyshare ZD 710.  Its a "prosumer" camera.  It has let me take some very nice pictures; however it's no DSLR.

Personally I think the finger paint filter helps hide my camera's imperfections.  Overall I think it was a beautiful evening.

Florida Pier

I love this picture.  A couple of years ago all my family went to Florida to visit my grandparents.  They live on bay front property in near Panama City.  This picture is of their neighbor's pier.  I hope you like it.  Such a shame I couldn't get their for sunrise also.

Bountiful Temple Spire

watercolor filter

A few years ago during the fall my wife and I went to the Bountiful temple.  While there I liked the pretty fall leaves.  Driving around the temple I noticed that I could take this picture with Moroni and the leaves.  I hope you enjoy.  taking pictures and making them artistic lets me express my faith.

Picture taking in Farmington, Utah

original photo

A couple of years of years ago my wife and I went to take a walk in Farmington, Utah.  When I saw this bridge and thought it would make for a good picture.  While I was looking at it I just loved how the sun was coming through the trees like that.  I like both the normal photo and the watercolor rendition underneath it.  I have the watercolor version hanging in my office wall.  I hope you enjoy.

Trying to get some exposure

      Hello everyone, my name is Mike Maynor.  I am from Utah and one of my hobbies that I have begun to develop is photography.  I don't know if this is just self-flattery but I'll be posting all of my photos full size to download.  the download is free.  If you display my art and guests ask about it just tell them where you found it.  If not I hope you enjoy looking at my pictures.

     Many of my pictures will be posted in twos.  Since I am no artist when it comes to painting or drawing I like to use artistic filters to make my more scenic pictures look like watercolor, oil and charcoal paintings.   Enjoy.

     If anyone out there plans on using my photos for commercial use I would like to make some money also.  Contact me for details.
