philip_wilson Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 <p>I just downloaded some images my youngest son made with a used body I bought them about 2 years ago. He took a number of shots like this while I was away travelling and I was quite impressed that he took this (unassisted) as an eight year old. The body is a used EOS Rebel (300D) and the lens is the EFS 18-135 that i got cheap when I bought a 7D (I never use this lens myself so I let the kids have it). Shot detail are 1/80 F5.6 ISO 400 aperture priority and the lens is set to 37mm - I made no edits in Photoshop beyond compressing the image to show on screen.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymoncur Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 <p>You realise in a couple of years (maybe sooner judging by this shot) he will be doing critiques on your work. Ouch!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah_fox Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 <p>Wow, I think most kids (and perhaps even most adults) would have centered in on the rainbow and/or would have zoomed out to 18mm to get more of it in the picture, thus screwing up the composition either way. The kid has some natural talent! :-)</p> <p>Dang, he used Av, and not the green-rectangle-for-dummies mode? Tell me he shot it in RAW!</p> <p>If I were you, I'd have it printed and nicely framed, and I'd hang it in a place of honor in the living room. Then your son would beam everytime a visitor comments on it. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lester_wareham Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 <p>Wow, very impressed, I would be more than please with that shot myself.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac sibson Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 <p>Excellent!</p> <p>I started off with my first SLR (an EOS 1000FN aka Rebel S II) when I was 10. Scary to think that was almost 20 years ago...</p> <p>If I shot that today I'd be happy with it. I definitely agree with Sarah (second time today!) that it should be printed and displayed.</p> <p>And buy him a 35 F1.4L for his birthday ;-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philip_wilson Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 <p>I will print and frame it for him but the 35 F1.4 may have to wait!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
