Re: Suffolk Show
Devil Kid by name, devil kid by nature! Stroppy little mare.
Freya went to the Suffolk Show today with her friend and her parents, as they had a spare ticket. I've just spent the last hour or so helping her edit her pictures but she couldn't be persuaded to write very much about her day out and was reluctant to post any of the pics because she doesn't think they are very good.
I beg to differ. I know I am naturally biased as a proud father but I think she did rather well for a thirteen year old, especially as I wasn't there to coach her - apart from help with the pp these are all her own work. It wasn't the kindest of weather, either - she arrived home soaking wet!
All pictures were taken with her E-500 and 14-45mm lens.John

Re: The Devil's Own Show
I didn't think Freya's original thread title, "The Suffolk Show" was very inspiring or eye catching so I've abused my powers by changing it.
It seems that when you are thirteen it's not cool to be too enthusiastic about anything.

Re: The Devil's Own Show
Personally John I think you are a cruel and unnatural father, Freya would be quite in her rights to report you. The Victorians merely made kids sweep chimneys, pick pockets or bankrupt banks (according to Mary Poppins).
You expose your daughter to the comments of those who still use the word 'kids', and are, worst of all your friends.
Nice series of shots though, the water bottles are a clever image.

Re: The Devil's Own Show
I think she did very well, but why is she pictured holding a C***n camera????
Someone will be on the naughty step after this and given a good spanking....!
The shot of the water bottles shows that she may well have the beginnings of a good enough grasp of perspective and photography to rival our Snaarman! If she shot this without prompting from her dad then I'll be well impressed!
I also thought the shot of the strawberries was excellent...if she's done these on her own, then she certainly shows some promise.
Way to go girl! Let's see some more....!

Re: The Devil's Own Show
Ha ha, don't worry Janet, the young lady featured in three of the shots (and holding a Canon in one of them) is Freya's friend Katie. They were all taken by Freya on her E-500, which used to be mine. She's getting impatient for me to buy a new camera in the hope that she may get my E-3, but I'm afraid it might be some time before that happens!Originally posted by Janet View Post
All the shots were entirely Freya's idea; Katie's parents aren't photographers themselves and I wasn't there!

Come to think of it, Nick, how much can kids earn sweeping chimneys these days?Originally posted by Nick Temple-Fry View Post

Re: The Devil's Own Show
Freya, I'm glad your dad "forced"you to post these they're excellent,
I think you have a natural talent, I would have been really chuffed to take any of these. The strawberry shot is stunning.
Please post more of your shots in the future.
Regards.

But the Devil appears to Witches at Sabbat in the form of a goat (or so folklore would tell us).Originally posted by Chevvyf1 View PostKids, are the young of Goats

The chosen name of Freya is Devil Kid, and it's said that it is 'a wise child who knows their own father'.
Personally I dont believe a word of it, however devilishy clever this photography is.

Re: The Devil's Own Show
Well done Freya, these would put some adults to shame.
Regards Paul.
One day I hope to be the person my dogs think I am.
