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.
AnthonySchirer-OC
Canon 80D, ISO 100, 166mm, f6.3, 1/800 sec The broken blade on this windmill is something that catches my eye, everytime I drive by it.
AnthonySchirer-Smoke
Canon 80D, ISO 800, f1.8, 50mm. Photo of the Holly Frontier Refinery in Cheyenne, Wyoming at night provides for some amazing scenery. Modified highlights and shadows in LR.
AnthonySchirer-ColorExplosion
Canon 80D, ISO 1600, 100mm, f2.8 1/60. Powdered sugar, milk, food coloring combined assisted in this eplosion of color. Dreamscape effect in PS.
AnthonySchirer-Minimalism
Canon 80D, ISO 400, f/5.6, 1.3 sec. Thought the moon was beautiful this evening, here in Wyoming. Minimual adjustments in LR.
AnthonySchirer-VisualRhythm
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-Half
Canon 80D, ISO 100, 100mm, f/16, .6 sec. Half past 5. Minimual LR adjustments.
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-LightPainting
Canon 80D, ISO 100, 24mm, f/16, 244.0 sec. Found this project to be fun and challenging. Used a pen light with white, green and red filters to capture this photo.
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. Canon 80D, ISO100, 100mm, f32, 1.3 sec.
AnthonySchirer-MorningRoutine
I enjoy a nice workout in the morning. I took this of my TRX suspension straps. Duplicated the image and reversed it in PS, then multiplied the 2 images together. Canon 80D, ISO 100, 55mm, f/4.0, .3 sec.
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.
