Box head pictures (Portal)
On the level where you get the companion cube after you run past the energy balls and are in the room with the three elevators, there are two doors leading to a catcher, and a platform that is pushed out of the wall. Walk up to the platform that is pushed out. Crouch behind it and walk through the opening. On the left hand side are a group of pictures of people with boxes for heads and hearts around them.
Breaking locks without bullets
If you are going for the achievement 'one free bullet' and you are unsure of how to brake locks without shooting them. You can use the gravity gun to shoot an explosive barrel or just about any other object at it. Just make sure that you use at least one bullet wether you use it on a lock or just shoot it randomly at the end.

Easy way to kill hunters
The magnum is very effective on the hunters. Four or five shots will kill them, or if you are at the Strider battle near the end of the game, use the gravity gun to fire the magnuson device at the hunters. This is a one hit K.O.
