Soccer: My son took these!

[int2str]

Usually I take pictures of my 8 year old son. Since he's out of commission this season with a knee injury, I let him take the pictures this time.

In the past, he's had trouble with the back button focusing. He still missed quite a few shots, but he nailed a few pretty well (IMHO). His composition is also getting a lot better.

Here are some examples of pictures shot by my 8 year old:

Note: Picasa's web albums do a number on these and add some weird grain to it...

Needless to say, I'm pretty proud of the little one :)

Nice work Mr. 8 year old photographer! Make sure you get the profits from any sales. Your Dad probably sells these for $100 per picture, and all of that money should be yours. You should have a nice Christmas coming up. If your Dad doesn't give you the profits, hire a lawyer.
