The Shutterbug
(Photo courtesy of Eli)
Eli has recently developed an interest in photography. He actually has quite an eye for it. He takes beautiful shots from interesting angles and perspectives. Just a few days ago, he asked if he could take some photos for my blog. I readily agreed, gave him a five-minute class on the basics of our digital camera, and sent him off. He wandered around the farm for an hour and came back with a pile of shots that we sorted through. That's the wonderful thing about digital cameras - the freedom of taking tons of shots of the same object from all different distances and angles until you get the perfect photo. All without wasting any film! If you never thought about it, introduce your child to photography - it's yet another opportunity for them to develop their creativity.

Wow! That's an awesome picture, Eli!
I hope this works! It,s my third try.
But then again Eli, how many pictures did you take till you captured this beautiful one?
It worked "Grams" - we got your message! Eli got this gorgeous shot on the first try, though he brought back about 15 shots of the same duck in the creek until he got one he liked!
What I find interesting is that Eli and I share the same perspective in nature photography. We have never talked about this, but I hope we can on vacation.
