As many of you know, my 9 year old son loves to join me and shoot with me when the opportunity presents itself. Over the last year he has started to attend local Photo Review meetings and enter competitions. Yes, he is competing againt adults as a 9 year old.
Each month, a topic is chosen in advance and every photographers needs to submit an image that meets that criteria. This month, the theme was Abandoned and Decayed. We both submitted images, but truth be told, I didn’t do too well. He on the other hand, for the 2nd month in a row, received an Honorable Mention. Not too shabby for a 9 year old.
The title of his piece was “Mom, I think we need a new roof”
He shot 9 images and used Photomatix to create a HDR image. From there, he used levels and curves to make it pop. Yes, I might have stood over his sholder and shared with him how to do something, but these were his ideas and his hands doing all of the work. And yes, I am proud of my little guy.
Your son is a rock star! Great shot!
