I game all of mine little point and shoot, so they could get a result at their first push of the button. Then we had a look at the results and picked out the major flaws. Finger over lense was a good lesson for my daughter, aged 6 at the time. My eldest son (recently awarded scholarship to one of Australia's performing arts schools and by The Australian Ballet, aged 10)</gloat></proud_dad> had a habit of not getting close in on many of his shots and consequently the subject of the photo was less than 1/6th of the negative. Now he moves in closer and a much better result ensues. They all like the darkroom and love to watch the photo's magically appear in the devel tray and I will encourage them to lean in this direction. Should they wish to learn more about camera's and/or photography, I have 6-7 K1000 bodies put away for learning with.
