Gave my son a camera

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Gave my son a camera

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! :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

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,
Craig
