Like Daughter

I picked up a D50 for my 11 yo daughter last Christmas......thanks again Rich

She uses the camera occasionally and the usual subject matter consists of her fish, her sister, her feet, her sisters feet........well, you get the idea. That was until this past Tuesday when we were leaving for her sisters Soccer game. I told her to grab her camera and I'd let her use Dad's 70-200. IF, and ONLY if, she promised to be careful with it. She promised and off we went.

I set her camera up for sports shooting and told her to "have at it".

So today I get an e-mail with this pic and a note saying "I think you might like this shot".

Like it? I love it!

Just thought I would share

Priceless capture there!

AWESOME......

That's one for the books. Great shot

Awesome,

I have a pic some where of me at like 8 or 10 loaded down with a vest full of film and crud and dragging a 300 or 400 2.8 on a monopod behind my dad somewhere. He used to use me as a pack mule

I love it too! It's exactly what I like to see in a photo, a story, what a heartwarming one!
Thanks for sharing.

Got her started with the Nikon pro lenses? Uh oh for you.

Priceless shot

picture frame shot for sure !!!

it is a keeper

I love my dad, but I wish he had a 70-200 for me to play with.

Love it Craig

Fantastic! It is a dream.

Terrific!

I envy her starting out at such a young age.

awesome, we started with our kids also early (7+5), i believe that when you motivate her, for creative kids it is easy turns into serious hobby.
our girl in night was actually crying when her camera got damaged and she would miss the shoot in school she planed. she have also backup body now (P&S for candid stuff) which she requested recently...

oooh you must love this image. Great stuff!

But now i'm curious, what was your subject? Care to share the shots you've both made? Or is the kid already better and you rather not share that with us

AH ........... And such a great home that "little D50" has found .
Best to you Craig and your family,
Rich

What's so great to me about this shot and story is what is so great, to me, about photography.

To me, its all about the people. I strive to capture those precious moments in front of the lens.

Precious moments happen on the other side, too. This shot and story prove that.

Too cute.

I would be hanging that one

What's REALLY impressive about this shot is that the 8-year-old younger brother captured this with an F75 and 28-105mm lens!

Seriously - great image! What a great keepsake, and heck looks like she's got pretty good form with the 70-200 too!

So... now... let's see some of the soccer images she got with the combo!!!
