Camera Obscura – Celebrating 200 years of Photography

On the 200th anniversary of the world’s first photograph, Mr Watson has converted one of our classrooms into a walk in Camera Obscura. Students and staff have been able to experience the first steps in photography themselves!

If you can’t work it out – the photo shows pupils inside the ‘camera’ sitting down, while the pupils who are upside down are outside with their image ‘projected’ into the room via a pin hole of light thrown onto a screen – Mr Watson can explain why they are upside down!
