After practicing at home, Izzy and I decided that it was time to move outside for our photography lessons. We went to the Chesapeake Arboretum. There is a lovely old home with gardens surrounding it with the wooded trails nearby. The daffodils were in bloom. Teaching her how to get close enough to the subject was difficult as she kept wanting to back up. As we walked the grounds I let her choose what we were photographing.
She took pictures of all sorts of things. She was particularly fasinated with the ground. She took pictures of the grass, bark mulch, fallen leaves and more. I gently offered directions while she shot.
I noticed her tendency to start walking before she had finished taking the picture. It's important to have your child stay still between shoots and not to walk and shoot at the same time. They will be able to take better pictures and it'll be easier for you to make sure the camera stays safe.
Remember: Smile, shoot, print and you will be happier for it.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ3S 5MP Digital Camera can be purchased along with other photography items at Heather's Photography and More Store.
Photography t shirts and photographic gifts are available for purchase at Spencer Photos which is our online store.
More lessons with Izzy will be coming soon.
