D50 and kit glass in the hands of a 9 year old.

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Taken by my son Sam.
No adjustments at all, just re-sized jpeg's straight from the camera, what chance do I have? :D

If you're interested, you can see some more of his work here.

Mark, I recently purchased a D70 at a fair price to let me 10 and 8 yr olds play. They come up with some interesting stuff at times..

A different perspective..

He's got talent that one. He handles a Bronica pretty well, too.

Yes, quite impressive that. I always wondered whether a PHD DSLR might be better for kids than a proper P&S. I reckon it's harder to drop/lose and less prone to fingers in front of lens or flash. I might have a look around for my 11 y.o. while I'm still an eBay member...

Which one, the Canon or the Fuji? ;)

Cheers

You and Peta should be proud of Sam - he's done well with these. #2 and #3 grab me the most. #1 is a little too busy and I find the out of focus foreground a bit distracting, but getting a cat to sit still is an achievement in itself. #3 shows especially good use of depth Of field and is my fave here.
