This week is a special one for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, celebrating its one-year anniversary, and we have been invited to choose our own subject. I’d like to do something completely different on this occasion and feature some pictures that my 10-year-old granddaughter took the other day at Navy Pier in downtown Chicago. She was using my SLR camera and did a fantastic job. The only contribution I made was to do a little cropping but the content and quality of the pictures are unaltered. I’m so happy that she is taking an active interest in photography and will do everything I can to encourage it.

well the apple does not fall too far from the tree – this ten-year-old has talent.
I like the bird portrait the best – his stare is fun
Thank you for your comment. It was much appreciated, both by me and my granddaughter. I’m hoping she maintains her interest in photography as it’s nice to be able to share a common interest.
That would be nice to have that connection – and see how you have similarities and then how you both differ
These are truly terrific Sue! She even got the speedboat in focus 😊. You are very fortunate to have a granddaughter taking an interest in photography. I tried but alas it’s horseback riding for mine!
Thank you so much, Tina! She certainly has a steady hand and a good eye. She loves horses too but, luckily for me, the photography has a higher priority, at least for now.
These photo captures are so impressive. She is talented. Thank you for sharing, Sue!
Thank you, Amy!
The gull is priceless.
Yes! It was my favorite. Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting.
Your grand-daughter is quite the photographer. Lovely photos. 🙂
Thanks, Olga! I’m hoping she will remain interested in photography, although kids change from week to week and she may be into something completely different the next time I see her.
She has a good eye…and a steady finger.
Yes! It certainly helps to have both of those. She made a great start and even listened to a few words of advice from Grandma.
That’s rare.
Great shots!!
Thanks, John! I’ll be sure to pass on you kind comment to my granddaughter.
The gull photo is priceless! Good job kiddo!
Thanks, Chris! She certainly got a good angle on the gull.
She did a great job, as I see from other comments, I also have the popular opinion that the gull shot is particularly good.
Thank you! The gull has definitely got the popular vote.
Like grandmother, like grand daughter 😀
Any kind of connection between generations is great and I was thrilled that, at least for now, we share this interest in photography.
