Workshop-Help! School is haunted
Do you ever get that? You take a photo and then it looks like there is a ghost to be seen. This is because the photo camera is set with a slow shutter speed. Then when something moves, it is out of focus in the picture. In this way, you can photograph 'ghosts' and 'spirits' yourself. By using the speed and way of moving, they themselves influence how the 'ghosts' appear in the picture. But the speed of the camera's shutter speed is also important. Thus, participants learn playfully about camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture and exposure. The students divide into five groups. Each group is given a camera with a tripod. Someone always takes the picture and the others walk in front of the camera. This creates a 'witty' photo. Then the children switch after each photo so that everyone gets their turn to take a photo. Afterwards, they can look at the photos and discuss the results.
