It is so obvious from these shots that she has the eye, which can be even more important than the technical knowledge. And how fun to have a little protege to teach! I agree with the comments about buying a used DSLR for her and that sticking with the same brand camera you have will make it easier on both of you. I hope her interest continues and you two have many years of shooting together!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-73230307464377990342015-10-27T05:12:14.827-07:002015-10-27T05:12:14.827-07:00Oh, Leigh! This is so exciting! I started a couple...Oh, Leigh! This is so exciting! I started a couple of years ago letting Campbell, who is a year younger than Molly, use my T1i to shoot and she has done some fantastic work. I even let her use my good BGC when we were in Europe. There weren't that many times when she wanted to use it, she was too busy being in the moment. But when she did, I will admit, I hovered, not to help her set up her shot but to 'catch' my camera, if need be. Like you, I set in on auto and just let her rip. I've even designed, printed and framed a beautiful poster of her work from a photo walk we took together. Yes! Let's give them all the encouragement we can. It will be fun for them and us and another way to bond. A win, win, don't you think?Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-62373126044263185412015-10-27T04:37:14.425-07:002015-10-27T04:37:14.425-07:00The kid's got chops!

I'm with Judy -ebay, or nikon or camera store used depts have great deals, and manufacturer's sites even warranty them. This way she can try a good one, and if its a phase, you are not out too much. Also have noticed recently that many point and shoots do have hidden menus with manual settings.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433584313253805817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-57218235796187142762015-10-27T04:16:16.033-07:002015-10-27T04:16:16.033-07:00Love love love her photo of your sleeping niece. ...Love love love her photo of your sleeping niece.

One of the women I work with just got a T3 at another drugstore for about 200.00, a red one, discontinued but they are out there. It'd be nice to stay with whatever type of camera you have (is that a Nikon?) so she could use one of your lenses maybe? She has an eye, that's for certain.AFishGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513718005250273753noreply@blogger.com
