Photo buddies

My grandson keeps asking me if he can take a picture. I keep saying no. Hard to let my 7 year old hold my baby. Well, yesterday we had planed a day just us guys so I asked him if he wanted to go take some pictures at the duck pond. His eyes opened wide as he said yes. I let him use my 5D with the 50 1.4 and I carried my 1D. We spent about two hours at the duck pond and rose garden. He looks like he knows what he is doing. Wonder where he learned that[;)]

He shot 164 shots and over half are keepers. Here are a few examples:

I hate it when little kids are better at stuff than me. Ah well :)


That second duck shot is great.


(BTW, my 8 year old daughter, looking over my shoulder, said "woah! pretty!" as those pics scrolled by.)

Nice shots Mark, good on you, a special bond gets more special, with a bit of encouragement.

Photo buddies are great...currently training Mason, my 3 1/2 yr old to take pics!! We were at dinner last night while mom worked, and I let him take my Droid X to take pics...he loved it...especially with the really big screen, he can see wht he

Great effort mate.
