your 7 yr old shot those? amazing! but how much did u help ie settings, lens, lighting
The robin, no help at all. She did use my camera though...her 400D had gone flat.
With the strawberries - in my studio. I showed her how the lights worked, and showed her a snoot, a grid, the black cloth, and the glass base. I showed her how the camera would sync with the lights at 1/200s and told her to adjust the aperture as necessary. She played around and we have a few missed shots there...
In reality, I gave her no more help than anyone might have if they go into a studio for the first time to shoot. She does her own photoshop (which for the strawberries was to drop the curves on the blacks a little, and sharpen and a small crop/straighten). Again, I may show her something new to try, and then I undo it and she does it herself - just like any teaching of a skill, really.
You could click one of the images and look at her flickr...you can see her development over the last year and a half since she got her 400d.
