Road Trip!!

I am not sure which came first...I wanted to go to the ocean, or my sister asked me to babysit my nephew on a Wednesday because his other Grandma was busy. Hmm.... dunno! Well, anyway, at the end of June my mom & I took a little road trip with the Corbinator and went to Ocean Shores. It was a whirlwind trip; a pretty good fit for an almost four year old! Of course, I took a bunch of pics! These are some of my favorites...

Aeroplanes

Mom & Corbin were pretending to be airplanes as they ran to the beach. I knew I would need a fast shutter speed/high ISO combo to get this little guy in motion. Unfortunately, I completely over-exposed the image!

So... I did a bit of editing a whammy!

Impression

Hahaha... I didn't mean to soft focus the beach; I just forgot that I had my camera in manual focus. oh goodness. The outcome, though, was lovely.

Sandals

I like the simplicity of this image, with the pop of color from the bucket. (thanks again dma for suggesting blue! Green wouldn't have looked as cool, eh?)

Throw it Back

I am not sure why, but Corbin decided to throw the sand back into the ocean. He is weird. It's heriditary. Corbin never had a chance. (Oh, and I did bump up the saturation & warmth of this one to bring out the tones in the waves).

Reflections

The reflections were pretty crazy. I could have spent all day taking pictures of reflections. Buuut, I am a nice auntie & let the little guy actually play in the waves. Generous. I know. (OH, and this is actually a crop in of a picture that showed him in full. I just really liked the reflection).

Not Jason Mraz

At one of our stops along the way, we picked up this hat for Corbin. I don't know, it has kind of a Jason Mraz look to it.... no? hahahaha. I really liked the lighting in this one; can't beat natural lighting! (although,I took this one with my Elph, so my settings were a bit limited & this pic is soft & noisy. )

Portraits

I did manage to get a few portraits of the little guy, too! (tooo-oooo) This one is my fav

oh gosh, and I wanted to prove that I was there, too, so while we ate burgers from Sand Box on the beach, I snapped this quick pic of me. So, for the record, I WAS there.

And that wraps up our trip to the beach! Thanks for taking a look & happy summer!

Woooooo it's sunny!
