#DLW03 Photoblitz

Most of our photos are digital now.  Digital cameras or devices that take digital images are great to use in learning. A photoblitz is a way to give you a chance to practise taking picture.

Use this list to take and think about pictures post them to your blog as a Gallery. Remember to categorise them as dlw16 and tag them dlw03.
