Workshop-Drawing with light
A photo camera has many settings and options. One of the most important is the shutter speed function. What is often unknown is that this allows you to take very special and artistic photos. By moving a light in front of the camera, you can, as it were, draw with light. The camera is on a tripod and depending on the drawing, students can set their own shutter speed. Here, it is also important how fast and what movements are made. Playfully, the children learn about basic camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture and exposure. They divide into a number of groups. Each group is given a camera with a tripod and sets to work making a real light drawing. Someone always takes the photo and the others make drawings with their light. At the end of the workshop, the photos taken are discussed.
