The 10th floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, in downtown Salt Lake City, is one of the fantastic places within the remodeled and historic Hotel Utah. The stained glass dome above the fountain and recreated carpet creates a fantastic place to view the city.
This shot was handheld @ 1/8 sec. After shooting, I discovered I'd taken the Autofocus off. Luckily, I'd set the focus where it needed to be. My focusing vision can often be off.
