Finn gets a camera...

Finn has always enjoyed using our camera, and we've always been keen that he should find a way to record our Family Adventures for himself. Together, we thought that this probably justified the £10-15 you need to get a small digital camera for on Ebay. So, towards the end of February, we got him one.
The first results were... well... something that Finn was delighted about:

In the fine now-established tradition of Adventure Tick Sheets, we thought that we could have a get-out-of-the-house walk on the Sunday afternoon, justified to Finn as being a task of taking photos of a series of things. This was the task:

You will note that bench, wires and ambulance are later additions to the sheet - showing what a success we had of things - Finn loved the game. And especially the results:

Note the fine trick of turning the camera to get all of the spire in! - Finn's mum showed him that one. And she was the one tall enough to take a picture of the speeding train over the wall, prompted when Finn heard the noise of shouted for Cori to get to it!

Cori was also responsible for (a) this action shot of the maestro in action:

(b) helping Finn sometimes get the thing in the frame:

and (c) teaching him how to zoom!

The list was deliberately written to get us to his nursery, which is shown in the second picture here:

And the nursery is conveniently placed close to the shop, where we got the bread we needed and then headed home, past the final thing on his list: lights!

The camera also allowed Finn to take a picture of the "family of traffic cones" outside our flats (a sunken manhole cover, which no one seems to bothered about fixing):

And here is the new photographer himself, whose work you can look forward to seeing in future posts!
