New Photographer in the Family

Koira is trying out her hand at photography now. I mounted the GoPro onto her collar (using a velcro wrap meant for going around your pants and ankle when biking to keep the chain from grabbing your pant-leg) and set it to take pictures every thirty seconds. Then, we headed down to the beach.

It was a surprisingly warm, sunny, clear, and calm day. That doesn't happen much on the Oregon beach, especially in the afternoon. Fog and high winds is more the norm.

While a lot of Koira's pictures were repetitive, or of nothing in particular, a lot of them were quite good, if a little artsy at times. She managed to get some decent pictures of me and my mom walking on the beach.

She even got a pretty decent shot of her own shadow, which I thought was pretty darn awesome.

The best part, though, was that she could take pictures while playing and enjoying herself, and I could just watch her play and have some fun, without having to lug around a camera myself. And, lets face it, she also got the best shot of Pallo of all time.
