Hi,
I thought I would share a portrait that my 5 year old took on Saturday of her Grampy. I am so impressed of what she managed with the D80 considering her size and the size of the D80 with the grip and a Sigma 24-70 2.8 0n it. Anyway heres the picture, all I have done is adjusted levels and sharpened.

Just to show you one if the artist at work ( sorry for the poor image only had dads P&S available.)

I, all I know is that I am dead chuffed:)

And every right to be too !!

That is a corker !! Manual exposure too !! A real pro !!

She looks so at home with it, I can just see her mouth in the shot and you can really tell that shes concentrating !!

Give her a fairy cake for that effort !!

That is really rather good Dave ... :clap: ... I think I would be very hard pushed to take one of my Gramps as good as that ... :shrug: ... (not just because he is long dead either) ... :lol:


You should encourage that skill immediately m8 ... buy her a D3 quick ... :D

What a cracking pic... your daughters that is ! :D

She's a natural and i agree with Venomator to nurture that skill, but in a fun way :thumbs:

I hope my 5 year old doesnt see it otherwise she will be wanting an upgrade from her Fisher Price Jobbie !

omg:eek: That's quite some portrait, especially given the size of the camera, surprised she could hold it steady.

Thanks for all the comments, she was really surprised that I posted one of her pictures:)

MMCP42 thanks for pointing out the picture quality point, my argument is that she was using the elinchrom lights and I only had the built in flash:lol:

:clap: What a lovely photo! It's great to see the youngsters learning how to handle cameras, my youngest son took This (http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=44714) photo of his mother with a Canon Ixus 60 recently, he knows more about my camera than me!
