I visited NGN with my eight year old grandson, I have found he stays interested for longer if I give him my camera and set him off round the exhibition on his own, with suitable warnings about fellows in long mac's etc, and to be polite at all times while pointing the camera, and to ask politely if he would like a loco or train to be positioned and stopped for him.
So what you are about to see are some of the 193 pictures that he took in the three hours we spent there, and from a child's somewhat limited perspective.
I hope he behaved himself, he usually does.
I will pick a selection, and then post them, then I will go into edit and add more, so they are all together. Coincidently, while doing it this way, do my previously posted words and picture stay on your screens during my editing, or do they disappear until I re-post, I've often wondered?
Right then, here we go. any explanations I have will be above the picture it refers to, and this information will be very sparse, as I do not make notes as I travel around, and my memory is none existent, plus, in the main, I was not present at the moment the picture was taken until much later in the morning when my grandson sought me out.

Apologies to the gentleman with the tongue, but remember this is a child's perspective and was done with no malice intent, and I think it shows us concentrating admirably. :)
More to follow when I get back from a walk around Chatsworth, I'm still working on the hip joint ::)
Thanks for these, Brian. It does sound like an excellent way to keep your grandson occupied. He's also quite a mean photographer - taking shots of n/g railways is not the easiest challenge as I've discovered for myself - and hopefully it will kindle his interest in the subject, too.
Keep that hip moving - don't want to let it get rusty, do we? But hopefully more news from the Glen soon, maybe?
David.
These are great for an eight year old!
It also gives a new prospective to an exhibition.
Thanks for posting them.
It is amazing that the technology has moved on so far that a youngster can get photographic results like this, but in the end it is all about the skill of the photographer to get the right shots.
Brian Meldon
Thank you both for the kind words.
The hip is progressing as well as can be expected for the length of time since the op, the walk from Baslow to Chatsworth house is about 1.5 miles, so that's at least a 3 mile walk, with a sticky bun break in the coach house caf
I think a lot of his pictures are really really good! Thanks for posting them.
Good to see that Derek Naylor was there and still actively modelling. (15th photo from the top in the above set)
