Not so good. He just randomly snaps photos, usually while still moving and never, ever gets a decent picture of anything. He has had the camera for at least a year and it is always the same blurry mess. Nanette blogged last week about taking her daughter on a nature walk/photography session and I thought that was such a great idea. I also realized the reason Rex always takes bad pictures is probably because I have never really spent any time with him to teach him how to take a good one. Hmm, bad mommy. It was time to to fix that so we bundled up and grabbed his camera and headed out. It took a few seconds for him to find his first subject
It was still a little blurry because he didn't stop long enough to snap the picture. But we went over the basics and tried again.
Much better. We headed to a nearby park- apparently I haven't learned my lesson about parks and photography sessions (we took some family photos at a park in CA and Wyatt was a hot mess the whole time because he just wanted to play on the playground and wanted nothing to do with getting a picture taken). So Rex got this one picture and then it was time to play.
The playing didn't last too long though. It had been raining earlier in the day so everything was wet and Rex jumped on the slide before I could stop him and this is what he looked like.
Oops. He played around a little more but we had to head back home pretty quick since it was cold out and his pants were soaked. He got one more picture on the way home and it was his best yet.
So thanks to Nanette for the inspiration because we had a great time on our little field trip/learning session!

Great pics! Glad you had fun!
And if it makes you feel any better, I haven't given Em any pic pointers, but she has gotten much better the more practice she's had with the camera. :)
