My 9 year old is excellent with the camera. I’ve noticed that she really enjoys taking pictures, playing with camera settings, thinking of what she’d like to capture and is now learning photo editing in Photoshop.
Here’s photo she took yesterday at the park:
Camera: Sony DSLR-A300
She told me that she wants to be a photographer (in addition to the 5 million other things she is passionate about), but meanwhile, I’m looking for photography classes for kids in my area.
Any other suggestions for helping her develop her interest and passion? Any online tutorials, websites where she can learn about imaging, camera settings, terms, lighting, etc.?
Thanks cdg! I'm having her get familiar with the different camera settings, downloaded the manual for the camera so she can review it and understand the options. They don't have too many classes for kids so we'll train her at home for now, get her some books, etc.

That's a great start and she is super young so lots of time to get professional lessons.
she took perfect shot. it is called macro photography. one of the most difficult one to learn. i believe she is just using only one lense, but you can buy more lenses so she could experiment different techniques.
Yes, STA. She experiments a lot. Like I said, she enjoys doing this. Before I get accessories, I would like her to know her camera well. We'll take it from there. I'll post more of her photography.
Well, this is an old model. We bought it 3-4 years ago I think. We had a gift card from Sony and needed a camera so that's why I have it! It's actually pretty good, maybe not as good as the Canons.
