BG & I visited one of the garden club ladies so we could see her gardens, & she has absolutely lovely flowers blooming right now. BG asked if she could take some pics, so I let her use my camera. She likes to take pics & I usually tell her it's OK, but I've never paid much attention to the pics she's taken... I just upload them to "her" folder on the computer.
The lady said that she'd like to see the pics BG took, & while I was resizing them, I noticed that she got some awesome shots! Most of her flowers were centered in the frame, & only one of them came out fuzzy. When she was taking them, I noticed that she moved around when she focused, to take the best advantage of the light!
Here's what she got...

Eight year old BG is my main hobby, & I think that besides gardening, photography is becoming one of hers! It might be just cuz I'm "Grama", but I'm thinking that she has some potential! :picture: I need to take a closer look in her folder to see what else she's got in there!

BG took some awesome pictures, "Grama"! Looks like you have a budding professional photographer on your hands. It will be interesting to see more pictures as she develops her talent! :grinnnn:
Have you shown the lady, whose pictures are "starring", the results? The Garden Club may want to enlist her skill to show off everyone's bloomers! ;)
Great job, BG! :Wow:

Great pictures, Patty. Looks like she takes after her Grandma.
Bonnie

She takes after me when it comes to her love of playing in the dirt, Bonnie, but I can't hold a candle to her when it comes to taking pics... & she likes to cook! :rolleyes1:
The other day she went on a rampage & took :picture: :picture: :picture: 95 :picture: :picture: :picture: pics! (https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi309%2Fgottahavegraphics%2FsmileySlapSelf.gif&hash=2f7170533ccb9498ce0e66ccb142d1bc65bf63ab) It took me a couple hours to resize all of them! (I'm gunna hafta sit that little lady down & teach her how to resize her own pics, if she keeps that up!)
I'm not gunna post 95 of her pics, but check this one out!
:picture: (https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi309%2Fgottahavegraphics%2FMisc%2FS6300933.jpg&hash=3837594a63df668cae41e3f1522a7bc8f33e08f1) :picture:
I don't usually fiddle with her pics, but I cropped this one & brought it in closer. I have to get her to tell me how she gets these good closeup shots, cuz it sure doesn't work for me! :tickedoff:
Yes, Dianna, we printed up 18 of the pics that she took in "Ms Elizabeth's" yard & took them over to her... she was thrilled! When we went there to give her the pics, BG took more pics (of course) & got a nice one of ELizabeth & her best friend, Max... so now we'll have to go back again, to take her this one! (Will it ever end?!)

(Now, Elizabeth wants to steal my BG! (https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi309%2Fgottahavegraphics%2FsmileyBetterNot.gif&hash=5fca57397741c0ce440c3301076c3571236922c2) Aint gunna happen!)
If BG starts taking pics for the garden club, she can have my job as "archivist" while she's at it! (https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi309%2Fgottahavegraphics%2Fneener.gif&hash=9b4f7fdd949e647abd6dd02fd912486a0960b63b) I got stuck with taking care of the club's scrapbook, just cuz I carry my camera around with me!
Most of the 95 pics she took the other day were of the neighbor lady's flowers & yard ornaments, when Kyle (Grandson/BG's brother) was working over there, moving 5 yards of top soil for her. BG found out that the lady's birthday is Sunday, so she wants to make her a book with those pics in it. *This is the neighbor who has a cow every time anyone turns around in her driveway, but we're hoping that she'll learn how to be a nice person, if someone is nice to her!* (Sounds right. but we'll see.) :unsure:
