Up Close and Personal with a Zoom Lens

To be clear, my daughter is not working with a fancy detachable lens here. She simply has a more modern model of the Canon Powershot happysnap machine than the one I bought in 2010.  




















Her camera has a far superior clarity when zoomed in, but Emily’s real advantage is her artist’s eye, combined with skills she’s honed doing sports team portrait photography for Peak Moments in Colorado Springs.




Smudge, one of the two tiny kittens living under our porch.
The feral cats around our house are increasingly tolerant of our physical proximity, but we’re still a long way off from being able to reach out and pet them. Emily was a stranger to them, but still managed to get within maybe ten feet. Her skills with zoom and focus did the rest.


























Alas, Emily does not have a website. She has an Instagram account, but I’m not sure how often she posts. This is purely for kicks on her part. Trust me, her proud father will let you know when this changes.
