happy birthday to me!

When you google "travel camera", one of the top listings is "Top 10 Compact Cameras for Travelers" by the National Geographic. I love Nat Geo, it brings me great joy each month when it arrives in the mail, with photos from around the world of incredible things as well as the everyday mundane... *sigh

Anyway, back on topic... when I started investigating travel cameras and saw that a Sony was recommended in the top 10, then my heart swooned... I'm a sucker for brand loyalty, and I've always had a Sony camera. It was a match made in heaven. 

Except for the price tag.

However, with some savvy shopping and some heavy placement of my feet, I managed an incredible deal, and with the help of my super generous parents, I got my first interchangeable lens camera for my birthday - a Sony a6000 with two lenses. 

Hazaah!

So here are some pics I took today on auto because I have no idea about camera settings whatsoever but I am so impressed with the difference in quality of the picture even on auto.

Happy birthday to me! (sounds self-absorbed but meh)
