Mummy and daddy were surprised because they were expecting yet another request for toys but instead, i asked for a camera. Guess with nai nai's generous contribution to my toy collection on a forthnightly basis, i have come to a point that i no longer need so many toys and would prefer to explore and capture the 'real world' surrounding me, just like daddy. Obviously daddy's reply upon hearing my 'wants' is "let's go shopping at Alan Photos". Mummy, on the hand has thousand and one thing running through her mind. Questions like: Should we buy? Must we buy? What message will we be sending across to him if we buy upon his request? What's the point of asking his opinion if we don't respect his option? Blah blah blah.....
So, she did a search on the internet and chanced upon this article. Read on and you shall know her answer to her dearest son's request:)
Kids Digital Camera - Teach You Children Digital Photography
By: Mary Janee
A kids digital camera is designed so even a three year old can have fun with digital photography. What child doesn't like to learn new things especially if Mom and Dad get involved. Even the most mundane items can turn into funny photos when you zoom in or shoot them from odd angles. The breakfast table can be an adventure. Put a camera in a kids hand and suddenly a bowel of oatmeal becomes an asteroid and a glass of milk the frozen tundra. Why, because your child’s imagination is sparked and they now see the world around them differently, through the eye of their camera.
Have you tried to get your child interested in something other than video games? Try a kids video camera. Who would not want to star in a music video or create lasting memories of your family vacation. Digital cameras for kids are designed with the youngster in mind. They come loaded with features, but your child doesn't have to become a professional photographer over night. Learning should be fun and easy. Studies show when anyone learns something new, if it was a fun experience the information is easily retained. So, when you help your young one learn about picture taking keep it simple at first, and before long you'll have the next Ansel Adams taking beautiful snap shots.
Every child can express themselves in the art of photography. By playing around with the camera settings they can be artistic, creative and imaginative. Try zooming in, using wide angle shots or a telephoto lens. Adjusting the exposure, changing the lighting, using the flash or not, trying different perspectives and angles add up to unique and surprisingly beautiful effects.
Now for that picture perfect moment a digital picture frame will highlight all his or her award winning photos in a slide show presentation, for all to enjoy. Kids digital cameras range in price and are quite affordable. For example, a CyberPix camera shoots video clips, photos and even use it as a webcam. It comes with photo activity software. Create albums, calendars, greeting cards and postcards. Print stickers, you know how kids love stickers, edit to remove red eye and add music or sound clips to create slide shows.
