Showcasing a child prodigy - Jr. LG Dhairya - in Photography - TravellerG

Photo #1; Caption: The cover photo - Inset = Jr. LG Dhairya (created by LG TravellerG)

Hello friends,

During my Vadodara visit in July 2022, our Naresh Darji Ji introduced LG Ashish Desai to help me. As planned, he reached my hotel at 8 am (on the 9th) along with his son Dhairya Desai for exploring Vadodara. When I met them, I was carrying my Sony Alpa 6600 and Sony RX10 Mark 4 cameras along with me - the moment the boy saw the cameras, his face grew bright & he got very curious.

His father told me about Dhairya’s passion for photography & I could very well understand it right from his body language. We spent some time together and I found that his foundation of photography was solid. Later, I explained the basics of the Sony A6600 camera (with a 35 - 300 mm lens) and handed over the camera to him, after some test shots. I was amazed by his grasping power & zeal to learn.

Our first destination was Sayaji Baug Park & Zoo. I had to set up the camera/mode for different photography. But, the way he handled the camera showed his affinity for such gears - I found him quite comfortable handling such an advanced camera.

And, he was an active participant in our Science Park Meetup in Ahmedabad.

All these shots are captured by Jr. LG Dhairya (camera settings being guided by me).

Here is the first shot he captured from the Children’s Park:

Panning photography needs expertise - right? See his shot… I really appreciate his TALENTS!

Which photo is your selection for our Dharya? Have you any advice for him??

Hope the encouragement from you all will inspire Dhairya to better his skills - I personally wish him all the success.

I’ve quoted this before and it feels apt on this occasion, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear and this is what looks like to have happened inVadodara @TravellerG . From his excellent framing, no doubt one day he will be the teacher that appears and perhaps even will have become a Local Guide :slightly_smiling_face:

Ich bin begeistert von deiner Geschichte!

Toll wie du den Lerneifer unterstĂĽtzen konntest und ihm dann sogar die Kamera zur VerfĂĽgung gestellt hast! Diesen Tag wird er nicht vergessen!!!

Mir ist als Mutter IMMER wichtig gewesen meinen Söhne die Welt zu erklären, ihre Neugier zu fördern und ihre Fragen zu beantworten.

Was ich nicht selbst wusste, da wurde nachgeschlagen oder im www gesucht.

Wissensdurst ist eine solche Kraft die gefördert werden soll.

Diese Einstellung lag mir selbst bereits inne noch bevor ich Mutter wurde und hat meinen beruflichen Werdegang beeinflusst. Ich bin Erzieherin geworden und habe bereits bei den kleinsten Kindern ihre Fähigkeiten und Neigungen sehen dürfen.

Es ist wunderbar zu sehen wie DU deine Zeit und dein Wissen teilst!

Bitte gebe, wenn es möglich ist, auch meine guten Wünsche weiter.

Sei una sorpresa continua caro @TravellerG Posso solo immaginare quanta gioia tu abbia regalato a questo ragazzo lasciandogli utilizzare la tua macchina fotografica. La mia foto preferita è la 7 e il mio unico consiglio per lui è quello di seguire la sua passione. A Dhairya i miei più sinceri auguri di realizzare i suoi sogni e a te i miei complimenti, perché il tuo cuore è grande :heart:
