Fantastic! My eldest (9) picks up a camera from time to time. I have showed him the basics of how it works and some while back he was encouraged enough to get a book out of the school library on the subject. I'll answer any questions I can, but from there on in, what and how he takes photographs of is down to him; subject matter, composition and style is something for him to discover for himself, without any pressure or pre-conceived ideas from me. Wish Claire success from me! Malcolm
