Beach Day!

Today, after making muffins, coloring, and playing trains, we headed out to my parent's house in Aptos to introduce Judit to the Pacific. It was a beautiful day - mid 70s, sunny, with a bit of a wind. I had the camera again, I'm still trying to get the hang of it, and I think I got some great pictures. Of course, I took close to 300 for about 4 really good ones. I've heard that's not unusual. I tried my hand at the telephoto lens, and that was tricky. It never wanted to focus on what I wanted it to focus on.

Here are some of my favorites.

Covered in sand
Running from the waves with grandpa
Oh no! Waves!
Waiting for the waves with granny
Bubby with great-grandma
Sissy & granny waiting for the waves
It was a fun day. And my goodness, I love this camera!

  1. you need to change your focus settings in your camera so that YOU control where it focuses. Instead of getting an array of red dots when you press your button half way down you get one. Then you use your arrows to move it where you want it. I don't remember how I changed it, but this might be it: I have a nikon, if you do change your "focus mode"to AF-C. (If that isn't it then this is so that you can keep the botton presssed half way and it will continully focus as the subject moves (like running toward you)
