I put my camera in the hands of Heather's cousin Melissa for a family event. She loves photography and had never used a fast SLR before. It was an excellent experiment because she had a really good eye and very little previous experience.
She got some amazing shots. All candids, capturing people doing what people do at a family event, all in glorious razor-thin depth-of-field thanks to the low light and 50mm f/1.4 glass. And she had fun doing it.
I wish she lived closer because I think she would love to help on some of my shoots. You see, it's really easy to come across someone who knows all about cameras and lenses and f-stops and Photoshop and sharpening algorithms.
It's quite a rare thing to find someone who just loves to take pictures.
