My nephew couldn’t keep his hands off his dad’s camera and even started crying when it was taken away. I guess photography runs in the family :)
Great to start 'em young! I always love the hands of small children and babies - small yet perfectly formed:-) - the contrast of the adult hand adjacent here works very well.
Too bad they got him started on a Nikon. Does The Nephew know Aunt Lady is a Canon girl? :)
better start early so he can learn from the start and become a big one.
Expensive toy ! :-)
But indeed a nice composition with the babies hands next to an adults hand.
nice shot and good composition.an expensive toy indeed! :-)
Haha, what a cute little juxtaposition. Looks like you guys are getting him into the expensive stuff early :P. Better start saving for that 1Ds MkII or D2H that he'll be wanting soon.
Love this one. Cute: the little hands.
OH. MY. ... GOODNESS!!!
This is just perfect. And yeah, I think it's definitely in the blood with your family, Lady! :)
He can't shoot from the hip all the time, you've got to get his eye up to the viewfinder if you expect him to make a living as a shooter :)
Lovely shot. Well conceived and well executed idea.
What an adorable photo! Too bad it's with the wrong brand of camera! ;)
;-) hehe, wonderful! Does he already have his own blog?
LOL! Nothing like learning young. That's so cute.
very cute photo. i'm just not sure why every one is opposed to nikon!
cute shot:-)
What a sweet image. It brought a big smile to my face.

Bravo! Your even starting him on Nikon, great taste in camera gear. I hope to pass my love of photography on to my kids one day.
Very cute. (the hands, not the camera).
Wow... mighty brave. I just get disposable film cameras for my daughter... but then, she breaks something and/or hurts herself just about every time she walks across the room...
He is born photographer. Did he take some shot? Is that a Nikon D70s?
Thank you to everyone who commented on this photo :) I love the composition of my nephew’s hand next to his father’s, but truth be told, this wasn’t a planned shot.
My brother was setting the timer on his camera for a family photo when his son, who was in his arms, immediately reached out and started clicking away. The moment was so precious that I had to grab my camera and start shooting as well. Seeing as how this was all spur of the moment, my settings were off and the picture is slightly blurred. Despite all that, I’m glad I was able to capture this event.
The original photo shows my nephew in his father’s arms, smiling as he takes picture after picture. I opted to crop this shot to respect their wishes of not having their photo published on the internet, as well as to showcase the bond between father and son.
Once my brother took his son away from the camera, my nephew immediately started crying, only stopping once he was allowed to shoot again. Photography may very well be my family’s legacy, as many of us are die hard shutterbugs. We’re not sure what my nephew’s future may hold. We’re still waiting for him to grow teeth :)
hehe, that's cute! wish I'd had a camera like that when I was his age!
Ahhh so cute...
Just wonderful! You can see the eagerness in his hands!
Great shot! And so cute..
Great story. I hope your brother knows he's going to have to save up for college AND photography gear for the little aspiring photog!
Wonderful moment!
What a great shot! Now is the time to learn!
Looks like a good birthday present would be a digicam to play with ;)
Amazing shot. Almost brings a tear to my eye.. :)
This is a sweet picture that will be always cherished, I'm sure. Wonderfully captured moment! :-)
Will he still use this "machine" when he will be a young man?
Another thank you to those who commented. Your kind words are always appreciated :)
This was definitely one of those "right place, right time" kind of moments. It's hard to believe that someday my nephew may be using a camera without his father’s guiding hands.
Yungyaw,
My nephew was using a Nikon D70. He took several photos while playing with the camera, though I didn’t get the chance to see any of the shots. I should ask my brother if any of them turned out okay.
Payam,
Me too! However, I was lucky enough to have a great father who let me snap away with film cameras. I can’t imagine how much he must have spent developing all the pictures I took of our pets.
Derrick,
Who knows? My nephew may become such a great photographer that his photos pay for his college expenses :)
Lol. Excellent shot.
Something about gadgets that kids just get pulled towards. Cute image.
Obelix and Ed,
Thanks :) I’m glad I had my camera with me at the time.
