A5 Pass - My 6 year olds first outing with Camera - HIS PHOT

[steve149c]

Hi All

As the title says this is my 6 year old lad, Ryans first trip out with a DSLR. He has been Low level a few times and is well known locally - trips have been Loop and A5 and always a tornado! So we set off to the A5 today, he was armed with my old Canon 450D and 75-300mm lense, the camera has done 45,000 shots so is a little bit worn. But I must say I am amazed at what he got - better than I was.

All shots have had a little unsharp mask and crop - Camera running on Sports mode for him.

First up was Typhoon 78 with ZJ915 QO-X



Then Tucano Lima 04 ZF485 on detachment to Valley



Python Flight, NUmber 1 - ZK018/I was nice and low, second ZK035/AB was high and Ryan missed him



Few minutes later, ZK012/C raced through



He missed Tornado 035 as it was high again and ended up with just a tail - we've all done that though!

After lunch Tucano ZF343 through on a high line other side of Valley and a hard crop for the camera



Hercules XV879 turned up - Ascot 128 and this was almost full frame



Phyton Flight came through again later as ZK012 & ZK035, and one Tucano missed. But I must say that I am mightly impressed by his skills on a first go

Hope you appreciate and enjoy

Steve & Ryan

Fair play Ryan you have taken some awesome shots that I think any of us would be proud of but a 6 that's amazing ! Can't wait to see what else you can catch

A fantastic effort by Ryan matey!

Cracking work.
Perhaps the mods may consider a 'junior entry' comp, maybe twice a year (to allow 6months opportunity) aged upto 12 or 15. I think you'd have a title contender on your hands!

I think I'll give up now, I know when I'm beaten

They are excellent shots. Both my teenage daughters who hardly ever take photos are also very good, like to think it's Dads tuition

My 8yr Son has a real aptitude for the camera as well.

Trouble is whenever we go off for a trip I end up without the camera.

May look at a cheap 2nd hand outfit for his birthday.
