One is 10, the other is 8; very different personalities of course! The 10yo has good concentration; his first idea was to take images of vegetables and plants early in the morning with dew on them (sounds good to me!); he is quite the gardener. The 8yo is very "energetic" who quickly moves from one room (physically and mentally) to another. I understand that a lot of that has to do with age, but it's in his makeup also. He wants to photograph at the beach; whales were his first mention. There is a local park with deer, and lots of bird estuaries around. So any advice from folks would be greatly appreciated. I really want to introduce them to photography in a way that will perhaps, in future years, instill a desire to pick the art back up and enjoy it. I also believe that iPhoneography is really not something that I was considering, but I'm open to suggestions. Gear should be as indestructible as possible I guess. So thanks again to anyone who wants to chime in! Bob
