有其父必有其子(Like Father Like Son)

自从染上摄影瘾后,每逢周末都花不少时间在摄影上。耳濡目染之下,两个孩子也学老爸东拍西拍。

孩子虽然年幼,但拍出来的相片却也不太差,甚至偶有佳作,老爸也险掉眼镜。摄影和许多其他事情一样,不能一成不变,墨守成规,偶尔不按常理极有可能获得意想不到的效果。

看着孩子们开心的摄影,心中有股简单的满足感。。。。

Ever since I picked up the interest in DSLR photography, I have spent quite some time on activities related to photography such as shooting, reading photography magazines and viewing, organizing and editing photographs in front of computer screen.

My previous Panasonic Compact camera somehow ended up with my two young children. When I go shooting outdoor, they occasionally join me and I leave it to their own creativity to shoot whatever they feel like shooting. Surprisingly even my 4-year-old son is able to operate the camera by focusing, zooming in and out, then view them later on and is clearly very satisfied with what he took. Shooting from the perspective of a child without following any composition rule sometimes yields refreshing and creative result, at least to the father.

My daughter was trying to take a close-up shot of a water droplet after rain but failed to get a clear image. After explanation she more or less understand that a macro lens and a tripod is required for a clear image of water droplet.

Update 20-August-2010: Photo shots from my little ones for sharing as suggested by Silent Moments.

    不是。不过他们年纪虽小,拍摄出来的相片却也还像样。。。:-)

    SK,
    这是花钱的消遣,不是投资,呵呵。。。

    上瘾进步则快,只要不过分中毒。。。:D

    silent moments,
    Uploaded some photos taken by my little ones, they are not exceptional and there are many others unusable photos (not properly focused). But considering their tender age I think it is good enough, at least to the father….:- )

    校长,
    您取笑了。。呵呵。

  12. I like the portrait of your son. Nice angle and lighting.

    Curiousity is a good trait when it comes to photography and children are always curious.
