The Apprentice / Photographers Assistant

My next two uploads were not actually shot by me.

This is me and my apprentice / photographers assistant !!

Actually it's me and my nephew at my mums 80th birthday celebration in Bolton at the weekend.

The camera is my dad's camera and this photo was shot on my camera by my brother !

It's not the best photo from a photography point of view, but captures a nice moment as I share a laugh with my five year old assistant (or perhaps I'm the assistant as I don't hold the camera)

Get them started young Phil! Looks like you're ready to catch the camera!

[Pat Knowles]

Did he actually take photo ? Would be interesting to see what he made of it !!! Looks a very happy occasion & he obviously takes after Uncle Phil !

[Juliette Packham]

great fun shot - I love to see what my nephew does with my camera when I give it to him!

[Mags]

Aww! That's so sweet! Would love to see the pic he took, Phil! Wonderful job by your brother!

[Kerri]

Fun shot

[Sue]

Ooh, lovely shot!

[Fanny Brogden]

Cheat!!!! What a lovely shot, good to start them young! wish I had!!

[Sue Wilde]

Well done Phil...you've annointed a successor

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Yes, from his determined stance, you are definitely the assistant! Lovely happy shot!

[Phil Howcroft]

@tishpics thanks patricia , it's good to be an assistant :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@swilde Ha Ha Sue, he shoots rather fast....didn't seem to bother about composition

[Phil Howcroft]

@fannyb Fanny, we can all cheat a little on our 365 :) . It was with my camera though :) , besides how else could I do a little 'selfie' (365 speak for a self portrait)

[Phil Howcroft]

@redpants thank you very much Sue

[Phil Howcroft]

@kerristephens cheers kerri

[Phil Howcroft]

@marlboromaam ha ha Maggie the shots were mainly blurred and out of focus ....he needed to keep a firm grip :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@sparkle juliette, he has took some good pics in good light , but the 'pop up flash' was what he loved in this photoshoot :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat PAt he took loads of pictures .....not many keepers I might add :)

[Phil Howcroft]

@judithg well judith i insited the strap went around his neck so if there was any little incidents the camera would not hit the floor...asuming the strap wasn't longer than him !!!

[Allison Williams]

Your associate (note how I dodge the question of who is assisting whom) seems quite comfortable holding a camera. You sure he is only 5. I am thinking he is really a short teenager.

[Mike]

You look so very nervous he might drop it...!
