My daughter (5yo) has been asking if she can use the new camera setup we got last week (Sony a6000 with the SEL28F20 28mm prime lens) so I obliged. I took her for a drive to the river park in our city, put the camera on auto and said "don't drop it" and then let her do her thing. Here she is.

The fun part was listening to her describe how she was taking the photos. Now, her mother and I are not at all professional photographers and we don't discuss photography. We just have enough information to make educated purchase decisions. So with that said, it was a hoot to listen to my daughter telling my wife "I took a picture of this log... it's blurry because I wanted to show off the fence" and "I thought this tree looked pretty".
It was a nice perspective... just letting a 5yo run wild and take pictures of what she finds cool enough to shoot.
