More "that's funny" than "eureka!" Drewett would have to admit that he wouldn't have explained it that way if he had to, but the point went through and he understood it. Besides, it was kind of funny how Professor Sandhu explained it. He allowed himself a little smile in response to that. These kinds of sciences were all about objectivity, but there were always variables that were hard to control. Adds a pinch of fun to learning new things, if he'd say so himself.

No telescopes yet, hm? He didn't mind. While he didn't actually own a personal camera, Drewett knew enough about it to know how to operate one. He even got to charm one for Evan as a Valentine's Day present almost two months ago. He knew its parts and their functions, which should be enough to get him through this mini activity. The Ravenclaw joined the rest of the class to the front and got a camera for himself. Drewett remained quiet as he proceeded to calibrate his camera, mentally ticking off the steps on the board along the way. With the camera positioned on the table as expected, he adjusted its focus until he was certain the white paper was no longer a blur through the viewfinder.

The sensitivity and the aperture settings confused him a little bit, as he didn't know what they technically meant. But Drewett was able to set the ISO to 200 and the aperture to f/2.8 after messing a little bit with the buttons and dials. After that, he made sure the camera was set to a low resolution. No idea why, but he was going to trust the process here.

So...he was all set now, right? With a click from the camera, Drewett took his first photo with the shutter speed set to 30, trying not to blink as he looked through the viewfinder. He looked at his shot, noting the blur in potential movement. He was just about to set the shutter speed to 15 when he noticed a young Slytherin (Austin) close by having trouble with his camera. The frown on the younger boy's also seemed to give him away. "Hey, buddy. Anything I can help you with?" the sixth year asked, a sheepish smile on his face.
