Make or take a photograph?

[Casiopea]

Casiopia - thanks very much for the explanation, which helps a great deal. Do you have any advice on how one could explain this to a class of ESL students?

You could discuss the words 'capture' (i.e., take with one's hand: take a bus) and 'create' ('make' with one's hand: make a cake).
