AnthonySchirer-YearWord-Wander

This is the year for me to wander more in nature as well as with my photography, to further craft the art of seeing through the lens. This photo was taken in the Medicine Bow National Forest, Wyoming. I captured it using a Canon 80D, 55mm, f11, 1/100 sec, ISO 100.

AnthonySchirer-OutOfFocus

I wandered through our new indoor greenhouse at the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens. Found several interesting plants to create unfocused images, but liked this one the best. I really like the lines on these palm tree leaves. Photo was taken with a Canon 80D, f2.8, 1/60 sec, 100mm, ISO100. Typical LR adjustments, cropped square.

Canon 80D, ISO 200, 64 mm, f/6.3, 1/640 sec, Wyoming is known for being windy. This group of trees create a rhythm, created by the wind, causing some of these trees to lean together.

AnthonySchirer-Page(s)

Photo taken with Canon 80D, ISO 100, 100 mm, f/32, 1 sec. This was a page from Henry Horenstein's book "Black & White Photography, A Basic Manual, Second Edition, Revised." Slight movement of the camera created this visual effect on the overall focus of the image.

AnthonySchirer-Monochromatic

Canon 80D, ISO 100, 121mm, f/7.1, 1/250 sec. Great day to visit a greenhouse in Fort Collins, Colorado. I like the different variations of color, size, and design.

AnthonySchirer-AmericanPie

In the song American Pie, by Don McLean, I chose the verse: 

"Did you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so?"

 I always liked this passage in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

Minimal adjustments in LR.

AnthonySchirer-Smile

Gotta be quick to get this dog smiling. This is Grace and she loves to run. ISO100, 79mm, f/4.5, 1/800 sec.

AnthonySchirer-WabiSabi

I love the rocks that are in this picture. The Native Americans named this Wyoming area Vedauwoo (pronounced Vee-Duh-Voo), which means "Land of the Earthborn Spirits." They believed it was a spiritual place when the rocks seem to balance on inches of space. The cracks and crevices that have eroded over time is a nice display of many Imperfections. The rock carefully balances on such a small section, that one day, may finally erode completely, and roll away. ISO 200, 250mm, f/5.6, 1/250 sec. Small adjustments in LR.
