I had to take the brood to the last soccer practice because Mom was out on the town. I took my camera, in case I had a moment to use it but I only managed to get a couple of shots in. Instead, I set it up on a tripod and let Charles take some shots. He took 227 pictures before I cut him off. Sadly, not one of them was worth keeping. While Charles had some problems with focus, his real issue was with framing.Of course, he has no idea how to work the zoom (I preset it for him) but even so, most of the pictures had just heads and a bit of the upper body with lots of sky. The ones he took while spinning the camera on the tripod didn’t turn out well, either. The few that were in focus and framed were of things like the cell tower and the grassy hill next to the practice field. But it kept him busy and happy for most of practice (and most of the rest of the time was taken up by a trek to the potty). My biggest problem was that, since Charles was using the camera, Alice thought it must be the coolest thing ever, particuarly the big shiny end of the lens.
