Thanks Doug, She learned quick, I let her use my Old D60, 180 macro, flash and tripod of course. All in all she has only fired 200 plus frames out of the camera . She is now bored with it all. One wound up Ranger Rick, One took Grand Prize at the Dallas zoo Photo contest, two years, and one took second last year. Oops that was a spider shot.

The last snake is toothless?

My fave is #1&2. Wish digital camera was around when I was a kid. Film photography was just too damn expensive a hobby to indulge an 11 year old back then.

Kenny,, We both entered the Dallas zoo contest two years ago for the first time , me in the Pro - Advanced Amateur Div. and her in the 10 and under . She beat Everyone , It was the first time a little kid had done that, they made a big deal of it which was nice , and she won some great prizes, Camera, money as well as a 20 by 36 Giclee of her winning image .

The spider shot was here second place at the zoo contest last year.

What's it worth to you, and do you pay travel expenses.

Awesome shots as always, from you and McKenna. I don't do much macro myself, but I love seeing your work. Thanks!

She certainly has her dad's great eye for composition, though I think to be completely honest your top three images are the real pick of the bunch from a colour/composition/impact point of view! (That's not to belittle your daughters work at all, just that you put up some seriously cool shots there!!)

Great work both of you! (And I hope she doesn't stay bored, I would suggest taking shots like that at her age shows a natural talent - it would be a real shame not to use that!)

Wonderful...I'm doing the same with my two older sons of 6 and 8yrs...seems like the 8yr old may favor photography the most. Congrats to you as a great Dad and your Daughter for following you and obvisouly enjoying it along the way.
