I took the day off of work and took the family to the zoo yesterday. As I was getting my camera stuff together, I remembered that we still had our old A300 digital camera. So, for fun, I put new batteries in the camera, cleared out the little 32mb memory card, and gave Thomas a quick lesson on how to use it. It’s not the best camera in the world, but for his purposes, it worked out well.

I was very suprised at some of the pictures he took. While the skill in even holding the camera level is obviously lacking, his eye for composition is definately there. I turned and saw him eyeing this picture for a while, and it came out really well. It’s also interesting to see what he finds worthy of a picture.

Anyway, take a flip through the photo album I put together for him, and see if you agree that I have a budding photographer on my hands.
