PlusAmei o curso! Bem objetivo e didático. Separou bem o que seria uma notícia diária e uma reportaegem - Como fotografar, editar, tempo de cada uma e finalização das mesmas. Mostrou os programas que utiliza e como usá-los. Como registrar as fotos. Apenas senti falta das fotos em tempo real (fotografar em loco) e de como fazer com que a imprensa veja e utilize suas fotos para monetização. De resto, tudo ok! Super recomendo!
