The Budding Photog - My Daughter's First Pics

[JonK]

Took my 11 yr' old shooting with me last weekend.

It was her first shoot with the SLR. I basically set the controls and left the compos up to her.

These are a few she came up with....no cropping here; jus a bit of levels/contrast adjustment.

Hope you like em

Wow! These are great!!!!! I like them all but 2, 3 and 6 are my fave's. You’re teaching her well she has an eye like her dad!
Great work :thumbsup:

she takes better pics than i do! haha, nice job

 

[LaFoto]

She has seen lots of your photos before, hasn't she?
I see your style in her approach .
Very good teacher --- very good student! I can see that!
Should I let my 13 year old use my DSLR? :scratch:
Dunno.......................!?

She most definitely has the eye for photography! I do believe it is time to starting planning for the 12th birthday list. #s 2,4 and 6 are my favourites of the bunch.

Thanks you guys I'll have her take a look at this thread today....and lafoto...let her use it! I even let my 7 yr. shoot with my Rebel XT

Wow...you taught her well Jon. Excellent work on these.
When are you gonna teach her the tilt?

 

[Arch]

she's done a great job jon.... some of her dads traits showing through.... the treelines.... the tilts!.... she's gonna be awesome :thumbsup:

Oh my, she really does have an eye for photography, doesn't she? You musta been so proud when you saw her pictures! Great job! (I remember the shots I took when I was 11 ... little tiny people in the very centre of the photo.)

Wonderful work! She already has a very good eye for composition.

I hope she sticks with it! :thumbup:

 

[JonK]

ah the tilt...yes...well....these things take time all in good time...first she must master the basics then I will let her in on the secrets of my success
riiiiight...what a load of hooey! looks like she's doin jus fine on her own

 

[Mansi]

[WNK]

Very nice! I'm impressed

It's both amusing and entertaining to see an 11yo take pictures which put many adults to shame!! Good genes Jon - tell her they're really very good indeed, for an accomplished photographer, let alone a beginner!
