my daughters first train shot

[Kentucky & Indiana Terminal RR]

This is my eleven year old daughters first attempt at a train picture, I posted it here because it is not NS related, I hope nobody minds.  She was so proud of this shot, so I told her I would post it online for you guys to see.  Its taken on Muldraugh hill on my railroad (PAL) so anyone that knows this area knows how hard it is to get the lighting right at this location.  She was a little nervous being this close at track speed but for just turning 11 and this is her first camera I thought she did pretty well.

I think she did pretty well! I sometimes do that, follow the engine with my camera, it adds a nice effect.

That's a great shot.  She did well.

Thats a good start.  She might want to work on her timing a little bit.  I practiced with cars going down the road until I had it down.

That's awesome that she's into it.  While I'm not even remotely rushing my daughter to grow up (she's almost 3 now) I am looking forward to the day I can put a camera in her hand trackside (or anywhere for that matter).
