When a child uses a DSLR (part 2)

You may recall a couple of weeks ago I shared some photos Abbey had taken using my digital SLR camera. They were quite average photos - many of them blurry (which tends to happen when you move the camera to look at the screen while still taking the photo), and if a person happened to be in the picture it was really just due to their skills at putting their face in front of the lens.

This weekend she had another go - it turns out what we'd told her about cameras has stuck in her mind.









She has really caught the essence of our weekend away: the happiness, the dirt, the beautifully vivid bush colours.

I'm sticking with my old theory: I should definitely get a new camera while we give this one to Abbey. After all, we don't want to be accused of not nurturing a talent, do we?

OMG, they are really, REALLY good, Megan. She definitely has a talent. Funny how quickly they pick these things up. :)

Fabulous photos!! Our kids get our old cameras, too. They're both getting pretty good as well. I love it when we all go snapping. But I don't think they quite have the same passion I do...yet. They're always saying, "Stop taking photos, Mum!"

Yep, you really have to nurture Abbey's talent with this photography thing! xo

Abbey is getting really good shots now.
I'd definitely be giving her a camera of her own soon.

They're fantastic.
Definitely time to hand it down (and repurchase).

Awesome spam comment above :o) Ansel Adams eat your heart out! I think it would be criminal for you to not buy a new camera for yourself to allow Abbey to use yours to nurture that talent!!!! :o)

I run the blog over at Good Apps and my wife and I have been talking about the effects of technology on the future generation a lot with all the apps and gaming. I like this DSLR article because it gives me hope that we will survive. I will be sure to tell my wife. Thanks!!!
