Photo lessons with my neice

 Katie's masterpiece: a painterly reflection of the old silo at our pond, made by turning a reflection upside down, and other Lightroom adjustments

My 13-year-old niece Katie came to visit this weekend. Armed with one of my SLR cameras, she went to town (so to speak) shooting for two days straight. What impressed me was that she took to photography (the camera and lenses) and the computer editing (Lightroom) like a pro. She took more than 800 pictures and edited them down to 60. She learned how to process raw files, and began to understand the basics of focal length and aperture. What fun it was to teach such an enthusiast!
