View Full Version : Like father like daughter!
Beverley and I to Wellington Country Park today with my kids, Lauren and Sean and, of course, the cameras ;)
Lauren, who has been showing a real interest in photography recently, kept asking if she could have a go with my camera. Eventually and reluctantly I handed it over :suspect: .............I just wish I had managed to capture the look of delight on her face just after I took this shot and she had taken hers :)

I can see some expensive birthdays on the horizon :suspect: :)
:thinking:
Yep, what do you expect... She's a girl. And you'll have to buy her an DSLR and some lenses too.
And some people complain about the weight of Canon lenses... a girly can hold em :D

I hope Santa knows how to wrap the Canon EOS 1D Mark III she'll want for Christmas
What a very lucky girl!
Wish my dad had owned such nice toys as Lauren's dad ;)

Great! My son loves the camera but at 3 it'll be a while before I hand over an L lens (I have to own one first). Well I always say kids should have a hobby to keep them outa trouble.

Errr if anyone's getting a 1D Mk III it's me :lol:. I'm sure Lauren would be quite happy with my 400D......for a while at least, i hope :thinking: :D
and now...we would like to see the shot Lauren took please, Paul!
Or are you scared it might be better than some of yours?? :D :lol:

She's got potential (to be better than me anyway!) :D
and here's another one she took.......She almost pulled the camera of my neck shouting "Daddy I need your camera for a minute!!!". After a few moments she returned with this one.......

I think this girl needs her own camera :thinking: :)
I think this girl needs her own camera :thinking: :)

She can always pay you back when she's a pro,...
But for gods sake buy her a Nikon, she'll be happier. ;)

paul time to put your camera down step back and say here you are love enjoy its what parents do . go on spoil her ...:bonk:
nnaaaaaaaa buy here a nice point and shoot and if she sticks with it then upgrade yourself..:naughty:
Well, i always said the 350d/400d's were for kids :p You see, it even looks to be the right size! (ignoring the lens of course :D). Now, give her the toy camera, and get yourself a proper one.

Nice shot Grendel - looks like there's some expensive birthdays coming.
Still, it'll be nice if you two have a hobby to share! :D
