Hi all,

Haven't posted much of late. Reinspired recently by my son who just acquired his first P&S. I just wanted to post a couple of samples of what he has been doing running around in the garden.

C&C is welcome. Jordan (my son) is 13 and only started using a camera a couple of months ago.

Those are great, especially the first. He might be taking over his Dad's business? :lol:

I really like the #2, but all of them a great. Does he only do flowers, what else does he like to capture, its great seeing the world from a young(er) persons perspective.

Pictures are very good - but, you are too young to have a 13 year old son 8) :) :)

I know adults who have tried for years and failed to capture images that good... give your son a pat on the back...

then go and hide your camera! :)

Pack it up Craig - the apprentice has become the master...!!

Some beautiful work there. Seems he's a chip off the old block.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging feedback. Jordan was chuffed.

Glen - sure is starting to look that way and he is very excited about the idea too.
Craig - He also wants to do 'Landscapes, nature & animals (if they would stay still for long enough)'. We are hoping to head down to the beach in a fortnight so we will see what he comes up with down there.
Chris - You are sooooo right and I keep telling myself that too :wink:
Bluebell - Jordan's favorite is #1.
Sue - You are on to something there, won't be long and he will find some limitations with his P&S and he will come after my gear.
Simon - As a starwars fan he loved your comment - thanks
Steve - He is running around with a Canon powershot A430
Geoff - He was sleeping when you commented, so you will be his first encouragement for today.

Cheers,
