Surf’s Up!

Of all the photos I took during our beach vacation this summer, this one is my favorite. Cameron, right, and his pal Cooper spent hours surfing and playing in the ocean during our time at Isle of Palms in South Carolina.

I enjoyed the water as well, experimenting with the Olympus Tough T-1 that I purchased after my Panasonic took a dunking during a spring canoe trip on the Potomac River. The Olympus is waterproof, and I have to admit it felt a bit strange to carry a camera into the waves with me, but once I started shooting without fear of damage it was a blast.

The small point-and-shoot camera has many features and filters new to me, so it will take some time to figure them out. But so far it’s been a great camera to carry everywhere, rain or shine, and I look forward to posting more fun favorites from our adventures.
