She sent me this today to show what she can capture at the Colorado Springs Zoo.
I think she surpassed me a while ago. She said she went out and just purchased a new lens and then headed out to see how it works out. I am pleased to say I got her interested and all in photography. It goes back to a photo contest years ago now. We both worked on setting up the subject, a crab spider, and we put him on a Virginia creeper leaf out under good light on a trampoline and she worked on getting the spider in a defensive pose with a twig as I clicked close ups using a 10X magnifier in fron of the lens on the tiny little spiders 8 eyeballs. There were maybe a thousand contestants in all that ranged from kids 8 to 13 which she was in at age 9 and then they had contestants 13 to 16 and adults. We printed it and it was then hung on the wall with the many others to be judged. She was so excited when she got the email saying her photo won 2nd place and it will be in the Butterfly pavilion calendar, along with $75.00 in gift certificates at "Mike's Camera in Boulder, Colo. We did all that with a 3.2 meg Kodak that I got new at Walmart for 40 buck as I got it to do ebay and it was being discontinued off the shelf for the new cameras coming in to stock and they let me have it for half price at the time. After all that she only wanted a better camera for birthdays and Christmas, until now she came afford her own stuff "kind-of", but I'm sure she'll be asking for an extra hundred bucks here soon saying, she had all these extra expenses this month, as she'll forget she told me she went out and pop'd on a new lens.WoW!! Looks like she inherited your talent!........Beautiful!
Huh! I guess that would be interesting to see. Remember these guys? They gave up on the idea of playing around with Tigers. Maybe had they just hand feed a big juicy steak to their tigers, that would have kept the show going longer then it did.a really good pic would be that cat taking a steak from a little girls hand!
