Nice. I especially like the composition of the shot with the trees and
squirrel.

I had the most amazing experience today with my nephew Akira: we
went on our first formal photowalk together. He carried the K10D
with the FA 50mm f 1.4 & I carried the 20D with the 50mm macro 2.8.
I explained the concept, put it on program, explained autofocus, set
it to RAW , and explained photowalking to him: "Shoot whatever
tickles your fancy," I said, and off we went (after, that is, I took
an official nose-behind-the-camera photog shot of him).
He'd already shot 45 pics in the 1st half block of our walk. I
quickly switched to jpeg fearing he'd run out of memory card space
much sooner than I had expected. He was amazing to watch: he
buzzed around like a bee shooting whatever, indeed, tickled his
fancy. He shot confidently, fearlessly, thoughtfully, and quickly.
I never interfered. I never told him what to shoot or gave any
suggestions. He soon wanted to try dials and buttons, and I showed
him how. He tried for motion blur, panning, he even, without any
prompting from me, decided to try some shots while he spun round and
round, releasing the shutter. His eagerness to experiment was
delightful to watch and made me realize I need to bring a lot more
play to my photography.
Anyway, I'd like to share 4 beauties he took. These shots are all
off-camera, no rendering at all, not even any crop adjustments.
When I saw the forth photo, I thought, "Oh, my gosh. My nephew is
channeling Godfrey" :-). The 5th shot is his official Pentax Photog
shot.

Comments/critique welcome and I'll pass them on to Akira.
Big thanks and cheers, Christine
