Manzanita in April

 

Last night in Manzanita

 

 

After my first trip to Manzanita, I was eager to get back there. This weekend one of my best friends and I heading up for a nice relaxing few days away from the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives. Of course there were a lot of pictures taken. This set also documents our visits to both Rockaway and Hug Point beaches, which are both a short distance from Manzanita.

I recently upgraded to the 4G version of the iPhone and have been thrilled with the major improvements to the camera on this phone over my old 2nd generation iPhone. Many of the photos that have ultimately been used in my 365 Photo project have come from using my iPhone through out the day. This page will serve as documentation of the capabilities of the iPhone with used of Apps such as Instagram, Iris, ProCamera, Slow Shutter, PicFX, and sometimes Tilt Shift Generator.

I headed to the tiny town of Manzanita, OR to stay on the beach for an extended celebration of my birthday. The photo above was taken from my hotel balcony which is directly across the street from the beach. This is my first trip to this sweet town. I will definitely be back.
