This past weekend Byron and I packed up the dog and the car headed down to the Oregon coast. We met up with a group of my best college friends — and I just about exploded with nerdy glee when my new camera arrived just in time for the trip. I realized a few weeks ago that my old camera is now technologically outdated — the photos it takes, they just ain’t lookin’ so hot. So based on some friends’ recommendations (thanks, Lauren and Hen!), I took the plunge.
Oregon proved to be the perfect testing ground. Sun, beach, epic trees… what more could a gal ask for when trying to figure out the difference between shutter speed, F stops and ISO?
If you get a chance to visit the small sleepy town of Manzanita, I highly recommend it. It is a magical beach in a special corner of the world.

Beautiful pics!! (and I think the camera can only take half the credit)
So many good pics! The one of Louie needs to be framed and hung somewhere in the house :)
YAY!!! Photos are the best. <3 And I don't even RECOGNIZE Byron!! WTF!!!
I know, right? He’s been workin’ hard.
