Basic Digital Photojournalism DVD

The images captured by press photographers enhance newspaper, magazine, or Internet news stories by depicting newsworthy events and by conveying emotion or mood. For example, a school's team may be competing for the state championship. If the excitement of the story can be heightened by a powerful photograph, the school paper may run the story on the front page of the next issue. This image will connect the readers with the event in a way that mere words cannot. Photojournalists typically use a series of photographic images to present a story primarily through the use of pictures rather than text. A digital camera can become an effective tool used by both basic photographers and photojournalists, to capture high-quality images, to manipulate them easily and inexpensively, and to efficiently produce a print-ready product.
