Prism Challenge

 After I finally got my prism in the mail the weather turned overcast for the rest of the week... But I decided to try taking photos of my son in the leaves in our back yard anyway... I was trying to get our tree in the prism, but it didn't quite work out (and I had a impatient subject so this is the best one I got...)

 Tonight I decided to try taking a photo of our fireplace with the prism, and was just having fun. I kind-of like how they turned out. I decided I want to keep playing around with the prism to see what works best! I definitely want to take photos with the sun shining to see if I can get any rainbows!

I think this would be my favorite if it wasn't for the glare on the right hand side.

 This one has a weird funky light streak as well.

 I love the fire and the blurred background in this one, so it has the place as favorite for this shoot.

I'm not totally in love with any shot I took and I want to keep trying to get a good prism shot!

Rembrandt Triangle Photos

 I first tried with my youngest for this challenge, and got this shot - 

  It made me realize that I really, really dislike our front 'screen' door and that is one of our items on our house that we have down to replace sooner than later... I like the shot and would love it even more if it were a clear glass door ;). 

Then I tried with my 4 year old. I really like the above photo. There is something about the expression that intrigues me. The only thing that really bugs me is his right eye. The below image has his classic smile ;). 

Golden Hour Photo

This week has been hectic here and so I wasn't able to go get the photo I wanted to for this challenge, but we were having a great sunset the other day and I loved how the cloud was lit through the trees. I know this isn't the best capture, but there are houses and tons of wires around where this was taken, so I did the best I could ;). I'm not that great at landscapes in general and definitely not with city buildings (when I learned photography from someone else I was in the country and didn't have to worry about anything but nature!)

In other news, I finally figured out how to change the ISO on my camera... pretty pathetic that I haven't ever figured that out before...

Knight and Dragon

On Halloween shortly before going trick or treating, I snapped some photos of my kids - the knight was a little more cooperative...

And wouldn't you know it, the only great photo I have of the dragon - the knight is totally blurry, but I actually love it because it looks like they saw each other and are running away!
