I don't know why I didn't think of this before. Handed our old Canon A80 over to our four-year-old and let her loose. Interesting results. I'd never have thought of taking a photo using the letterbox as a frame.

Anyone else tried letting their young kids have a crack at photography?

Only one problem and that is she's not really learned discretion

That's really cool!
I love the perspectives!

Great concept. This shows what a wonderfully different perspective children have on the world. The letterbox shot is great.

I think it's great to give kids a camera! We let our then 3 year old use our very first digital in 2000 and she has been using them ever since. Both of our kids love to take pictures and I can really see the progression over the last few years. They had their own cameras when we went to Europe a couple of years ago and so have their own record of what they think was important, which I love to look at still (they were aged 7 and 4 at the time).

I love the letterbox photo - very cute!

My two boys are 7 & 4 and I have let both of them loose with my D50.
They each have their own p&s cameras and constantly produce great photos. I have learnt a few composition trick from their pics.
Like your daughter they have yet to learn the art of discretion.

im noting this down for when i have kids. what a great way to capture the way they view the world and how that view changes as they get older.
