Day 6: 10 Tips for Digital Photography
Leave it to Kodak to put together a simple step by step guide to taking good pictures. Combining this information with the capabilities of PhotoShop Elements enables anyone to take a decent photo. However, creativity definitely distinguishes an amateur from the artist. Unlike the days of 35 mm where understanding the features were imperative to taking a decent picture, a digital camera gives the impression that it's just a matter of point and click. The 10 tips, however, make it clear it's not that simple. Planning and thinking through the shot is important. Even though almost all of my students have used digital cameras, I think it is important to share these tips with them because unless they've had real instruction on key elements of photography, they wouldn't know them.

I agree with your statement about giving our students instruction. Although most children these days can figure out the technical aspects of a camera (probably before the adults), they still need to know the more artistic elements as well. These tips will allow them to be more successful even as they are being creative.
