Taking photos - I like to run a mini photography course with students to get them thinking more about what they are taking photos of and really thinking of those photos as texts. We usually focus on 4 rules: 1. Keep the camera still 2. Light on the subject. 3. Rule of thirds 4. Get close to the subject.

Has anyone else done any work with photos and students? What have you do? What have you used?
