Just Images from today

[MARINERMAGNUM]

I try to take my 5 year old daughter out every night on a little hike,geocache,whatever. Just outdoors. These are just some images of what we saw tonight. Pretty much the same birds,same location. She insisted i post them,for good reason. She was complaining that i never let her handle the "real cameras" so i handed her the Rebel XT,she waited,and the phoebe landed. I helped her twist the zoom in,and she shot it! It was way out there,but i was proud,and so was she.

Now the trouble started! She said,"From now on,why don't you just use the black camera [30d] and i'll just use this silver one [Rebel XT]

uh oh

her phoebe-300mm @1000

thrush-300mm @800

This Kinglet was suckkin sap!

Your little girl is off to a great start. Give her my congratulations. I think her birdy looks great. Your's don't look bad either.

MM it is at least a hobby you both can share and she seems to have a pretty good eye. Until she gets a little older you might want to get some Body Armour for Canon

MM, great story. I see she already can find the target, hold steady and shoot. I think you've got a little competition right in your own home.
