Description

We will be visiting a photographers Studio, before we go will learn the basics of cameras and how they work. We will then walk to the Studio, where in our dens we will take turns to visit and use a set up camera. Meanwhile other dens waiting will practice taking photos and do some worksheets on photography. We encourage children to take their own photos so they learn how to use a camera and take a clear picture. We encourage the Beavers to take a number of photos, this helps them understand which ones are better than others and the reason why. Some of the one's that go wrong can be quite a bit of fun to look at after.

Resources

1. A disposable or digital camera.
2. A photo for each child, will then be turned into a drinks coaster on the future session. We will create these after we have taken the photos.
3. A supportive Parent to help develop / print the pictures.

Instructions

Introduce the session by a quick chat about photography and what it is used for. This leads into going on a walk and identifying different buildings and landmarks on route. Then lead them into the act of taking photos, they try to take at least 5 photos during the walk.
