*high five* thats great, and now you ahve a companion to go and shoot with.

Yep, she will be coming with me to Chicago on April 22 to meet many of the other P.O.T.N.'ers and shoot around the windy city. We're both looking forward to it.

OK great, now sign her in the forum, if not already so we can see her work. Tell her not to be shy.

Yep, she will probably create an account today... if she ever wakes up. She was up late playing with her new toy.

this is great... you are a very lucky Dad

That I am. You are absolutely right. I have an awesome little girl. I'm very proud of her.

Nice pressy for a nice Daughter

I wish at least one of my offspring or even my wife shared my interest in photography, it must be nice to have the same interest. I just couldn't get into knitting

Rockabilly...are you quoting Borat?

Phil...you have prepared your daughter for a life of satisfaction...we all appreciate life more when looking through the glass (especially L glass)!

Within 30 minutes she had my 24-105 with an extension tube showing some real macro interest.

You realize that all your lenses will be missing all the time, right?

Cute! She looks like a natural holding the camera.... She's going to love following in your footsteps!

what an great gift! I hope one day my kids will also love photography!

I couldn't help but to think about Ferris when I read the OP.

"After all, I got a car.
He got a computer."

Does she have an older sibling?

Shes got the camera pose just right ...lol looking forwards to seeing her and her work here also ..and congrads ..on a 16 year old ..I think ...lol I can say this my sons 25

We have a new forum member. Her first post is here. I know you all will make her feel welcome.

That's awesome, Phi & that is a great b-day present.I got my hubby hooked seveal years ago and it is so fun to have a shooting companion. Enjoy.

that is no fair...when I was 16 all I got was...um, shoot I can't remember. but if i did I'm sure it was nothing like that. I've had to buy all my own equipment. reallly tough when ur only a student with little funds. good luck to her with her new camera!

My camera bag is already getting lighter. I'm starting to think it would have been cheaper to get her a car.

What an awesome dad! My father doesnt do photography, but he's the one that bought me my 10D as a graduation gift back when they first came out...It is great to have a supportive family!! (but I'm totally jealous, she's got access to some great lenses...lol)

My daughter is only 5 months old, but as soon as she's enough, she'll be getting a camera...lol...it'll be fun to have someone to shoot with!

That's awesome!!! I hope one of my kids want to follow in their old man's footsteps!!

What an awesome gift, does she know how lucky she is by starting off with the best? CANON! I can't wait to see her work.
