Quick getaway for a couple days in Taft, Oregon.

Started with wine tasting at Chateau Bianca!

Hung out at the coast and enjoyed the weather! Drove down South of Yachats to Thor’s Well.

Ate out a few times as well. Mo’s, The Litehouse, and our favorite, The Rogue Brewery!

On the last night we had decent light for sunset.

The wave photos were taken with a Sony a7, some others with the iPhone X, and the sunset photos were taken with a Sony RX100 I got on Craigslist for $100! The best camera is the one you have with you! Cheers!

Labor Day Weekend was spent at Odell Lake camping and hanging out with family.  Jake fished with his grandpa, we ate, we drank, played games, and had a good time.  All images on this trip were taken with the Sony a7 with a 50mm f1.8 lens except the last two of the Ice machine and the tree full of birds, these were taken with an iPhone X.  The best camera is the one you have with you.

Spent the weekend at the Oregon Jamboree in Sweet Home, Oregon taking pictures and having a good time with friends and family.  Some of the acts:  Blackhawk, Hank Williams Jr, Terri Clark, Chris Young, Mitchell Tenpenny, Neal McCoy, and Brothers Osbourne.  See more photos here.

All photos were taken with a Sony a6000 with 55-210mm kit lens.  Worked really good during the day, at night I had to bump the ISO up pretty high to be able to get the shutter speed I needed to stop the action a get clear images.  Overall pretty happy with the outcome using an older kit you could pick up used for around $500.  

The best cameral is the one you have with you.  Cheers!

Wine tasting at one of our favorite vineyards.

We shared a bottle of Pere Ami and enjoyed the scenery.

Both of these photos were taken with a Sony RX100 I picked up off of Craigslist for $100. The best camera is the one you have with you. Cheers!

Went to the Oregon coast for a few days to get out of the valley and enjoy the beach between Waldport and Yachats.

We had some great weather for walking on the beach.

We had a great site for our trailer. A very short walk to the beach.

The changing tides left some cool textures in the sand.

All photos taken with my iPhone X. The best camera is the one you have with you.
