2/. The Primary School.
3/. People outside classrooms.
4/. Anywhere that could be dangerous.  Practice safety at all times.
5/. Outside the school.

The next step will be digitising your photos in Photoshop, see the images gallery link.

Using Photoshop.

You are to resize all the horizontal (landscape) images to 1280px wide and use the default height of 960px.  For the vertical portraits the sizes are 960px wide and 1280px high. (The reverse of the landscape images).
Save the images and replace the original images.

Using Photoshop digitise the images as follows:
1/. You may want to adjust the contrast and or brightness. (Image Adjustments option).
2/. You may need to crop images (Crop some of the image/s).
3/. Using the examples in this link, you may want to try and distort (digitally change) the images.

Important: When you digitally change an image DO NOT save it over the top of the original image.  Save it as the original image, but add a 1 to the filename. Ie: beach.jpg becomes beach1.jpg, as need to show the original image and what you changed it to.
