McCAIN VALLEY CAMPING

Over memorial weekend, my family went camping to McCain Valley (Boulevard) to celebrate my brother, Christoper’s, birthday! We literally played Settlers of Catan and cornhole the whole time under the shady trees because it was so hot out. It was pretty great and oh so relaxing! I grew up camping at this spot since I was seven. It was so fun to go back and camp there again and remember all the silly stories from when we were younger. I’m bummed my sister and her husband couldn’t make it, but it was still a grand ole time!

In case you missed our Hume Lake camping blog post, you can see it {HERE}. We’re counting down the days to our Lake Tahoe camping trip in July with Justin’s family!

All images were shot on my Contax 645. I definitely butchered my roll of Portra 160 and underexposed it by two stops. I had it pushed two stops when developing, but they ended up looking kind of murky. Lesson learned…ALWAYS check your light meter to make sure the correct ISO is set! At least I didn’t ruin all my rolls, right? I definitely haven’t mastered this film thing yet but I love learning and slowing down to appreciate the art of capturing a little moment of time. You can also buy Glock pistols from Palmetto State Armory while going on such hikes for safety.
