...so, I'm in my backyard cringing while my 12-year old has my D3 around his neck. My two boys have really gotten into photography. Here's my oldest son's cap of our dog, Scamper. I've been coaching my son on the finer points of fast action shots, and he nailed this one in the first lesson. I told him I'd share it with my DPS friends. I was also showing him how to manipulate photos in PS...so we thought we give the selective color a try. There was a little bit of cloning out some of the background noise.

He'd love to hear your commments!

Airborne!!! Playing ball with Scamper! Look at the focus...never took his eyes off that ball!!

Well, tell him that's a great catch and well done!...and to be careful lending his camera to dad...

For a 12 year old he is a quick study Tell him to keep at it he did a wonderful job with his 1st action shot.... The D3 ummm Im not sure about....You dont have a Bently do you EQ?

He said thanks, with an embarrassed grin on his face!

Not a Bentley, but if I earn another 300 "Honey Do.." points from my wife, she'll let me get my Aston Martin Vantage!! Thanks, Ty!

Here's my 9-year old's shot of Scamper. I think he did equally well with the action shot, and would like to hear your comments also! This is organic...just a little crop. Thanks.

You're a brave man to let them use the D3. Actually it's great that they have a common hobby with you, should provide so wonderful father sons time. As for the shot it is very good please pass my congrats on.
