Last week I went out to a Yorkshire town called Shipley with my two year old son (more like 2.5 year old, but hey). I've had a few spare Q cameras in the recent past so he's enjoyed learning how to take images with them - he's getting better at composing before clicking!

Here are a few shots I'd like to share from this trip out. All images taken with the Q-S1 and 01 lens, using the monochrome bold preset. His pictures (apart from the last one), edited by me. Enjoy

He has created some interesting compositions and his low point of view really adds another dimension to the photographs. Lovely that he is enjoying photography and starting to make considered compositions.

To be honest I don't think he really grasps what a good image might look like so I suggested what he should try and snap.

You'd have a good laugh if you actually saw most of the shots - he would click the shutter every few seconds when he was distracted by other things so there are a lot of shoe shots

And what it really shows me is that photography is much less about the gear and so much more about being there and enjoying the moments you capture. I'm looking forward to going out more often with him to improve his (and my own) skills.

Keep it up, encourage it while you can, without it becoming a chore. Cracking little set, and well done to the teacher too
I know what i like, If not always why.
