Week 5 Photography Awesomesauce Challenge: Starry Night Skies
I loved this weeks challenge because it was completely different than anything I had done before! This shot was taken off of Lake Huron in Alpena, MI in 18 degree weather. Yep, I was that crazy photographer standing out in the frigid cold over the holiday break to capture this shot!

Week 4 Photography Awesomesauce Challenge: Prism Photography
What’s a prism you ask? Its meant to refract light which can create really neat effects to your photography including rainbows! I bought this little guy for a few dollars on Amazon and then hit the trails in 30 degree Michigan weather… brr! I found holding my camera and positioning the prism along with trying to shoot was hard. I would get the prism just right with a beautiful rainbow and then it would slip as I tried to take the shot. If I redid this I would consider using a tripod and trigger. I would also replace the short acrylic prism with a longer glass one.
Below is my best shot. The prism is positioned on the left side of my lens and reflecting the sun and surrounding branches.

Week 3 Photography Awesomesauce Challenge: Rembrandt Triangle using natural light
My subject was Bella, our family pet. She is always a ton of fun to photograph especially when she is all passed out in her favorite spot!
