Uh oh- my daughter just got a digital camera for her birthday, and she wants a ribbon. Just what I need... more competition.

Kudos to the parents for letting her have a camera. Would love to see how she sees the world. I am always fascinated by it.

I look forward to seeing what she comes up with.... kids are amazingly creative.

That's a great photograph of her too, you might even consider pulling it from this thread and submitting it for OFS. It would get a 10 from me.

Too cute. I started my daughter young as well. She is now 13 and quite good at photography. Most competitions she enters she comes away with first or second place. May yours do as well as mine with the photography. LOL

How many children registered already? Are there enough for a "children only" challenge? Could be a fun thing to vote on one where photographers MUST be under 18.

My niece is really in to photography, and I'd love to give her a digital camera for christmas.. (no funds this year).. but she doesn't even have a family computer yet...

So perhaps next year.

I'm contemplating giving her my Pentax 35mm SLR to use... She's 8. I wonder if that would be too much camera for her. heh.

I just went through her CF card, and I can tell I'm in trouble already. She took all of these shots except the first one (obviously). I cropped three of them and edited one- otherwise they're straight out of the camera.

I think I need to set some ground rules like, "No entering the same challenges as Daddy!"

I'll tell ya what...your daughter sure has a great natural eye! I teach a workshop for kids thats called "through my eyes" and it NEVER gets old. Children just have a unstructured view of how things look, and it really comes through in their pictures. I have tried a few with Gracie, but at 2 she's more interested in the camera itself. Maybe next year?

She realy has a photographer eye.
There are some amzing shots in there.

I realy like the one with the sky where the leaves are flying. Great capture. if that would be in the free study I probably give it a 9!

I gave my old Canon a 40 to my son (10 at the time) to take some photos while on holiday.
When we got back home I was just amazed by the way he captured some scenes.
It was not all good, but some of the photos he took were realy much better then mine :(

I think it's also the fact that when we are kids we are interested in mostly anything that surrouds us, the world is so interesting then, everything worth atleast a look, as we get older most of us start to overlook things many times it strikes us in the face and we don't see it.

Very good idea, except that StevePax pointed out the flaw. The photographers MUST be under whatever-age-Konador-happens-to-be.

Ok I agree than the rules should be exactly like that "Age under whatever Ben's age is today with atleast 1 week. " :))

Great shot :) What camera did you choose for her? I'm starting to think about one for my 6 year old for Christmas...
