  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.

Photojournalism Does image manipulation contradict photojournalism? Veteran Associated Press photographer, Anja Niedringhaus https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/04/04/299018995/ap-photographer-killed-reporter-wounded-by-gunman-in-afghanistan Photojournalism: A Complete Guide https://petapixel.com/what-is-photojournalism/ 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. 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 Photojournalism aims to present the facts, to provide a picture of reality, to inform. 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.

Right Image Left Image Right Image Left Image A stereo pair consists of two pictures, one from the perspective of the left eye and one for the right. Even though the two pictures may look very similar, they are 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.
