Some photos from Young Miss Nanuq

[Nanuq]

My daughter has got VERY into photography, and her skills are improving exponentially. Check these out!

Nice! That rail shot really shows raw talent. Maybe a bit off the top but the composition is stellar IMO.

[Nanuq]

A few more...

Yeah, you'll be wanting to encourage that.

[P4GTR]

Very talented. I feel like she is really communicating a story in some of those shots. Awesome.

[Nanuq]

Yeah, you'll be wanting to encourage that.

Thanks Pugs! I'm already pushing her toward a career in something "artsy". She's working as a barista now and loves it. She gets to bring in an iPod to play in the store with any kind of playlist she wants, and the owners let her put up art shows on the walls. I tell her that no matter what the economic climate, people will pay through the nose to be entertained and to look good. So sell them art! Now she and Young Mister Nanuq, yon Eagle Scout, are working together doing wedding photography, and doing quite well.

We're surrounded by opportunity, folks. It just takes eyes wide open and some elbow grease to make a go of life.

Wise words.

A buddy of mine just got married. I won't say how much he paid for wedding photography but they do quite well! Some good photo's here they might enjoy looking at.

I'm somewhere on this page.

Outstanding!! I think I found you in the photos.

What a great time they had. That was *really* nice.

It was fun. Do I really stand out that much?

[Nanuq]

Hmmmm, perhaps not.

You're not the guy suntanning on the foredeck of the yacht?

[P4GTR]

hah! My watch collection would be vastly different if that were the case.

I'm the goofy (at least in the pic) white guy at the cool black guys wedding.

[Nanuq]

Hey, you were honored to be invited to their soire' and that's plenty cool in my book. It looks like they had an awesome time.

So that's not you on the foredeck? Hmmmmmm. Must be Ken, then.

Love the shot of the railroad tracks. Though it would be alot easier to see if it was smaller. The new forum format's animated image viewer sucks, but that is another story.

[MasterOfPuppets]

she's got talent Nanuq, those photos are amazing

and what a fabulous wedding u went to P4GTR, and the photographer was brilliant

[jeff g]

Talent obviously runs in her genes.

Give her a few of your watches to work with.

I look forward to those shots.

Her rail photo is VERY cool.

[vaccum]

Very nice pics!

[eunomians]

As always, best regards to you & yours, my friend

You are one great fater Rob and your daughter seem to have inherited your brains (looks must be from your better halfs part of the family)

All the best from warm sunny Norway

Well it looks like she is on her way to become a professional photographer. The pics are just good and no one can tell that these are clicked by a novice. I can say that these are just awesome.

[Strawberry]

Great thread! Your daughter is really talented and your are a great father for supporting her in that direction, I wish my family had done that.

[fraggle42]

They are damn good.

 

I find that I am technically good, but artistically poor at recognising what "makes" a good photo and seeing photo opportunities.

 

I've got friends that are the opposite, but knowledge and technical skill can be learned, the natural talent to spot good photos can't be learned.

 

And then there are the people who are both, and your daufghter seems to be in that category.

 

Give her access to a whole variety of cameras, filters, lenses (tilt slide lenses are really cool to work with) and let her go play - which is what you're doing anyway!
