Camping - Nairn Falls

Last week we managed to get away for a quick camping trip. This is something we are trying to do once a month throughout summer - a quick trip out of the city to get away from the computer and recharge our batteries.  This summer is very very busy and we have found a "weekend away" (always actually weekdays) to be great to lower the stress levels and keep us on our game.

This trip was to Nairn Falls near Pemberton. The campground is just off the main highway and has only basic facilities, but the views are amazing.

We asked for a campsite overlooking the river.  This is an almost 180˚ panorama of what we could see....

This is just strolling around the campground....

We actually stopped at some of the viewpoints on the Sea to Sky Highway on the way home. It was worth stopping.....

Ok, now back to work!

The Boys

Yesterday I got a couple new lenses for the coming wedding season and I am super excited about them! They are all prime lenses (fixed focal length, with no zoom so I'll be zooming with my feet), really good for portraits, and fast and sharp in low light.

I took a couple of test shots last night of my boys, Rudi and Whitespot. These guys HATE being photographed so you gotta be quick!

Here's Whitespot.....you can't see, but he really does have a white spot on his chest....

and baby brother Rudi.....

What I really really like about the new lenses is the crisp but shallow depth of field I can get, with just eyes sharp and nothing else.

Yummy!
