Father & Son Photographers

[Tommyboy]

On a recent visit to the Santa Barbara Zoo, my 7 year-old asked if he could join me in taking photos. With some trepidation, I handed him my XE-2 w/18-55. I continued shooting my XP-2 w/55-200. We both grabbed a shot of the engineer who pilots the train that circles the zoo. Who do you think has a better eye?

Mine:

 

55mm 1/80 f/6.4 ISO 200

His:



39mm 1/210 f/5.6 ISO 400

The photographers:



I'm pretty proud of my burgeoning lensman.

His because of the expression, sorry old chap.

Which proves, you do not need an X-Pro 2 to capture a good picture.☺ Composition and foremost timing are more important than the equipment.

Edit:

Both are nice shots anyway.

The apprentice becomes the master.

 

(Boy that happen A LOT sooner then anticipated, eh?)

I really like the moment your son captured (the most important thing)

Both are nice photos, bet that guy spends the winter months working as Santa
