Teachers, it is a really good idea, in my opinion, to make sure that pupils can take photos, transfer them onto computers and organise them.  A wee bit of practise will save staff a lot of trouble.

Blogging Challenge

Post a photo every day, or take them and post a gallery on Friday. Do not just post the photo, explain why you like it, how you took it…
Here are ten ideas

• Take a photo of two things that do not belong together.
• Let’s play with movement. Get a shot of something in motion.
• Make a photograph that features a circle today.
• Yellow is an attention-getting colour. A photo is dominated by yellow.
• Take a photo in which a mirror is a major element
• Make a photo that freezes or isolates the motion of an object
• Get closer and fill the frame.
• Yellow is an attention-getting colour. A photo is dominated by yellow.
• Emphasise the sky by placing the horizon very low or very high.
• Forced perspective – make something small look big, or big look small.
