    Kellie Anfosso
    Kellie started to develop a love of sports in 1968, at age 5 while listening to her father announce high school football and basketball games. Her journey into sports photography started when she videotaped her son playing sports. She bought her first Canon 50D DSLR to capture her son playing basketball without blur. She started taking photos for the paper in 2009 and added more sports as friends asked her to capture their kids in action. Her sport photography style has been to tell the story, show the passion and to get kids into local papers and national magazines. Her photos have been in USA Wrestling in 2018 and 2022. Her photos were featured on the 2017 Texas UIL Wrestling State Championship Program.
    She worked with the Mckinney Magazine and had photos of commissioned products, sports, landscapes, events, and wildlife. She enjoys shooting beautiful sunsets, old buildings, wildlife, candid shots of people, and of course sports. She loves to pass on her knowledge and passion for photography.

    Ive never tried to take photos of humming birds before. I started. but was having no luck at all until I asked Kellie for her advice for camera settings. She gave me information that surprised me, and I was able to get photos using an asa of 6400 and a shutter speed of 1/3200. I was set to AF-C, burst mode high (24fps) @20mp, using a Sony RX 10 iv. Great class!

    Had a fun time with the group trying to capture these elusive little critters. Learned some good techniques and great practice. Probably the most challenging photography I've tried. Need to get the shutter speed, aperture, ISO and lighting just right, plus a lot of luck as in this image where I managed to catch 3 at once. These were in the shade under the roof overhang, so lighting was difficult. Pro Capture on my Olympus camera was a huge benefit. Without it I caught mostly bird feeders and n

    I was coming back from a winter photo excursion into Yellowstone, and I stopped off in Jackson Hole for the night. I did some shooting by moonlight of the Grand Teton range from the Snake River Overlook, at around 1 AM, then came back just before dawn to catch the first light on the tips of the Grand Teton range. Taken with a Nikon F2A, 43-86mm Zoom at around 55mm. Ektachrome 64 film. Exposure unrecorded. The image was printed on an 8x10 Cibachrome print and digitized.
