Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2007 6:19 pmHere is a shot of a light taken by my 8 year old Sam, he's been bugging me for ages to let him post an image for review.
I'm sure he'd love your C&C.

Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2007 6:19 pmPosted: Mon Apr 09, 2007 6:21 pmWow very cool, espeically from an 8 yr old, almost something you'd expect from Mattk, simple yet powerful. Reminds me of a UFO.

Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2007 9:12 pmThanks Craig and Yip.
What really impressed me about this shot was looking through the photos and exif and seeing his process in creating this image. Sure he was shooting in using the camera's program modes but there was some thought behind getting the right shot.
This photo below was taken 3 frames before the one I posted, I'm guessing that he used auto for it, then he switched the camera to landscape mode to shoot the pic I posted above.
When I asked him why he chose landscape mode for the other shot, his reply was...
"Dad don't you know? If you don't want the flash to go off you just switch the camera to landscape and it won't"
Nice work around really.
Edit - Link and typos fixed

Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2007 9:45 pmActually I remember when I first started.. landscape mode was a good work around for a few things.
Smart kid you have there!

Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2007 10:16 pmMark, tell Sam it is a top shot. He is quicker than me to work out the workarounds 
Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2007 9:48 pmThanks Glen,
He's quicker than me too.
I'll have to get him to teach me a thing or two this weekend, he's keen as mustard about the MiniMeet on Saturday. He keeps asking me if he can carry the D50, 18-55kit and 70-300G. What he doesn't realise it that I'd be happy for him to carry it, takes the weight out of my bag.

You should be a proud dad. That's a great image. The soft gradation of light from the sharp rim to the centre really draws the eye and the patterns in the concave part around the fitting add nice interest. The angle and the landscape work well together because of the elliptical shape of the light.
I just wish I'd started so early. I might be famous by now

I sure am a proud Dad, both of my boys are wonderful.
I believe in sharing my passions and love of things with them rather than keeping them to myself. If they break the gear, pffft.... who cares? At least they will have learnt a lesson, albeit an expensive one.
