Back in the bright past, when the sun still shone regularly in the sky sans clouds (you'd call it summer time...) Seamus and I went for a photowalk together. We bought Seamus a camera because he was interested in mine and now he and I will occasionally go out taking photo together. Above is a St. John's wort in front of the house that I love to photograph after a rain. I thought you'd like to see it when the sun is out and it is in bloom.
Mostly, Seamus takes lots of blurry photos that he never really looks at. It is a start. I try to help him with his technique to hold the camera still and think about what he wants the image to to look like. Progress is slow but good for a 6 year old.
A Walk on a day with lots of sun makes it hard to find good compositions. The strong shadows make for stark images with little subtlety in shading. But, with care one can find things in the shade or settings that actually benefit from the strong lighting.
