When Ansel Adams exposed a photographic plate or piece of
film, he thought about the light, perspective, exposure and
so on. He would often manipulate the development process to
maximize the dynamic range of his negatives. Printing the
negative was an exercise in photo-manipulation mostly
through dodging and burning.

It's a whole new world with dSLR and smart phone cameras.
Image manipulation is part of the electronic processing
taking place in milliseconds. What we call post-processing
refers to further changing the image from what the Camera
creates.
One philosophy often cited is "get the image right" when one
makes the exposure--post-processing is not necessary. That's
the perspective your instructor chooses.
An alternative philosophy--any image can be "improved".
There are literally hundreds of programs and apps to achieve
image manipulation. This course refers to some of the more
professional and well-known software.

Photojournalism
Does image manipulation contradict the goals of a
photojournalist?

Photojournalism ideas

Photojournalism tells a story not in thousands of words but
in a single photo (or a short series of photos). Just as a
written news story presents a complete picture by providing
an overview, a thesis, subjects, and various points of view,
photojournalism achieves this same objective
pictographically.
Good photojournalism tells stories with a beginning, middle,
and end. Captions help convey the story, but in
photojournalism text is secondary to images. The power to
inform and persuade proves just as strong in photos as it
does in words.
Many types of photojournalism exist, and there are just as
many ways to practice it. From news to features, photo
stories to portraits, from documenting wars to local news
and sports, photojournalism represents a category as broad
as journalism itself. What remains constant throughout is a
dedication to unbiased, honest reporting. Photojournalism
aims to present the facts, to provide a picture of reality,
to inform.
Photo Assignment - Telling a Story
A picture is worth a thousand words. That is the motto of a
photojournalist. It is their objective to produce direct,
truthful and bold images that tell the stories for those who
have no voice or show a different perspective.
Capture an image or a sequence of images that tells a story.
Perhaps something in your neighborhood or community. You
want the image(s) to hold the viewer's attention and have an
impact.

A stereo pair consists of two pictures, one for the left
eye and one for the right. Even though the two pictures
may look very similar, they're not identical. During
viewing, the left eye sees the left image and the right
eye the right; then the brain fuses the two so you
perceive depth.
