Time with my son

This Christmas, my son got his first camera. He had expressed an interest sometime ago and I felt it was time to get him a more serious camera and see how he took to the art. He has done real well. Hes not afraid to experiment nor use the camera. He has had to learn how to use the camera, RAW files, Photoshop and more. Its been a ton to learn, but he is a natural. (I like to think that he gets it from his old man).Today was the second time he and I had been out since getting the camera. While he does go take a few pictures on his own, he and I enjoy the time together to talk, answer questions and see the world around us from a more artistic perspective. On this outing we went to Mt. Rainier National Park near Crystal Mountain and took some deep forest shots. The shot below is one of mine from the outing. I have a thing for Birch trees and how they look in deep contrast. The detail of the bark along with their bright bark coloring make them really nice against the dark forest.I used to get picked on about my tree shots. Apparently I take a bunch of them. But, when you live in the Pacific Northwest its hard not to take a picture with trees in it.As with all of my shots, I encourage you all to leave comments and or Feedback.</david>
