A Photo Taking Resource for Kids

My parents came to visit yesterday, and my mother brought a clipping from the local newspaper about a photo contest the newspaper is holding. Nick would like to enter some of his photos. In the meantime, we are trying to figure out where we can take more pictures. It seems as though we are runnning out of venues- at least within our town. One picture Nick is desperate to take is that of the full moon. Unfortunately, we do not have a lens powerful enough. I have decided I will be putting back some of my sponsored post money to buy him a lens. I also need to get him in a class, because I am of little help when it comes to shutter speed, aperture or whatever other settings he needs to know about. That brings me to this handy link- BetterPhoto. I signed up for a sample class today. I can’t wait to see what it is like. Thus far, it is a a great site. They offer a kids page with various photo assignments, so kids can practice their craft. What I find particularly cool is that they have teamed up with Big Brother Big Sister to offer a teen photography mentoring program. So whether you, your child or your teen is a picture taker, I am sure you will find something of interest on BetterPhoto.
