Amazing photographers

During our morning class today, we gave the kids the opportunity to take digital photos with the camera Ross brought to us yesterday.
Here are our students:

First, we explained the rules to them:

1) Always wear the camera strap around your wrist
2) Take turns taking pictures - one at a time
3) Always turn the camera off when not using it
4) If you catch someone not obeying one of the above rules, call them out!

It was hilarious, they figured out the camera almost right away and policed themselves about all of the rules and about whose turn it was. Soon, they were outside taking pictures at a whim of everything imaginable.

Kids learn technology so fast, and it`s amazing how much inherent understanding they have about taking pictures and following the rules. While some pictures were just goofy: a picture of their bikes, of trees, etc., some were kind of amazing.

This was taken by one of the kids:

This one too (the guy on the moto was going fast too):

Not bad for just the first day! I`m impressed - a great way to end a hard week.

you should be able to get some great shots. kids have no fear of failure and don't worry about whether something is in focus or not - they just snap at what's interesting to them.

Keep up the good work Apoorva.
