Ximina took some new pics, I thought I'd share with you all:

Little Cars:


Elephant:


Ironically, her elephant pic turned out better than mine. Mine was OOF!

 

Thanks Gale!

Actually Mommy complains I never take photos of her any more :/

You don't have to imagine a young child with a camera, I took a photo for ya!

 

Frank: Ximina's 3 - but she's been taking pics for a couple of years. You can see some pics in her gallery she took when she was one.

She often takes better photos than myself. I think I must be in the wrong line of work.


Dave: That sounds like fun. I can't get my wife to pick up the camera. Last time she wanted to take a pic at a public aquarium of Jellyfish (low light situation behind glass).

Needless to say, her results weren't very encouraging to her.

I think that digital is perfect for kids, instant gratification...
Funny - Actually her first camera didn't even have an LCD.

I was out with my daughter taking photos she ran inside and came out with a happy meal toy and used it like a camera (it was some space ship thingy):


After that, we got her a little $20 digicam with no LCD review, that she shot for a while:

...and really no cost.
Funny you should say that. So my daughter is shooting with my P5 and my aunt sees and tells Ximina not to do that. And I ask her why? And she says that it wastes film. Hmmm... Even if it did use film, I don't think its wasteful at all to see through my daughter's eyes - more like priceless. But that's just me.

 

Gale: No, thank you! She makes me smile a lot too. Everyday with her brings me joy (along with my other daughter too).


Gaye: Thanks... Actually, she instigated it. I just listened to her. She's a quick one.


NeilCam: Hehehe... I figured you'd want the thread deleted for the other reason, :wink: :wink:

Actually I think she takes better pics than me. It's a good thing that she can't process her pics yet, so its pretty much straight out of camera, but she's starting to get ideas. Uh oh...

Not sure how long you've been into photography, but she's been taking photos for 2/3 of her life, whereas I've only been into photography for less than 1/2 my life.

 

LOL!! no, actually... ROFLMAO... I'm not sure you'd want her to join. Endless threads of "Nemo" shots done with the "other" brand.

But hey, if she can type - she already uses the computer to view her images with the mouse and all.

Funny, never even showed her how to click or spin that wheel.

 

Steve: Yup, she named them! She loves looking at her pics. And she often yells out the titles while pointing


Peter: Wow a 1Ds? I'm sure she'd give me a run for my money. I did post in the CTF but they don't seem to be interested. She has a few fans in NTF though.

Hey, by the way, we went to pick up her fixed 3200 today. Quick turn around - only 1 week to fix. I thought for sure it would take longer since it's just a entry level consumer cam. Nice friendly service too with a huge fish in the lobby that my daughter took a pic of.

They even allowed me to pick up my camera 5 minutes after closing. They close at 1500 hrs and its tough for me to get my 2 kids out of the house fast enough to make the hour long drive.

Camera works great. Ximina says, "Wau, big camera - look like daddy's camera" I asked her which one she liked better, and she says "the small camera." Humph.... Oh well, if the other one breaks now she has a backup.
