I like how closely Stefan pays attention to the children, creating a safe environment for them to experience water on their own terms. It seems that it’s not just the children who are having a great time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

A word of advice: because a lot of intense sunlight passes through the giant windows the air temperature can easily reach close to 40\u00b0C (104\u00b0F) with high humidity. Cold metal or glas immediately collects a film of condensation. On the one hand this can quickly damage the electronics, on the other hand it is not really possible to take a picture through a fogged lens.<\/p>\n

In order to avoid this, the camera and lens should have enough time to acclimatize and reach the ambient temperature. This is best done in an airtight plastic bag. I have had good results using Ziploc bags, such as Ziploc Double Zipper Gallon Storage Bags. Pick a size suitable for your camera. If you do not get the double-zipper bag, you can use two bags, one inside the other, to ensure that the content is really kept dry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
