Kirk Tanner Photography : Popular Photos : 3/10/07 – I was going out late this afternoon to run some errands and the sun was just setting. We had low thick clouds most of the day, especially around the mountains, but the sun had dropped so it was shinning under the clouds so it hit the mountains east of our home creating this view.- powered by SmugMug

Kirk > This might be my all time favorite image. It has special meaning to me. My parents have several walnut trees around their home and they produce thousands of walnuts every year. My dad collects them, husks them and sets them out to dry. Then he bags them and gives them away. I was at their home and was walking by when I saw his work gloves sitting on top of the walnuts. For me it told the story and represents how my dad has always worked hard around his yard. Someday he will be gone, but this photo will always remind me of who he was.

Kirk > 10/7/07 – Shot from my home you can see Baldy in front and snow covered Timpanogos in the background. The setting sun has cast a red glow over everything.

Kirk > 7/12/07 – This is a double exposure. One shot was exposed to capture the rich colors of the sky. The second was to properly expose for the building. Once combined it looks just like it did if you were there in person. This is the Mt. Timpanogos Temple here in Utah.

Kirk > We hiked all night long in total darkness to be on top of Mt. Timpanogos by sunrise. We decided to wait at the saddle (bottom left) for sunrise before taking the 45 minute hike to the summit. I was glad I did. The light was fantastic.

Kirk > Fall up American Fork Canyon. This was shot with a wide angle lens and is best viewd larger.

Kirk > 1/24/07 – This is an image I shot last summer at Orem’s Summer Fest parade. The image never appealed to me. But yesterday I learned a new photo technique called the Orton Effect. The original effect was done with slides long before digital imaging and named after Michael Orton who first used the technique. He would shoot two images, both under exposed. One was in focus and the other out of focus and then he would sandwich the two images into one mount. The result was a dreamy, luminescent image that can make a dull image pop. For me, it did just that for this shot. I never saw anything in this image until I applied the Orton Effect. – Cool!
