Unit 14 - p4

A photographer from the local paper is upgrading his laptop and he wants your advice regarding how he can send his pictures to the news desk effectively from either home (where he has broadband) or on location (maybe through his smartphone).  Suggest the technology that can be used and describe how it works.
If your taking pictures then returning home to send them to the news desk you have to use WiFi. 

  • You take the picture you want to send to the news desk using a camera.



  • You then use a USB cable to connect the camera to the laptop to sync all of the pictures onto the laptop.



  • When the photos have synced onto the laptop you can then email the photos to the news desk by using your WiFi broadband at home.







If your taking pictures while on vacation/location and have to send them to the news deck while in a different country you have to use 3G.

  • You take the photo you'd like to send to the news desk.









  • You use the USB cable to connect the camera to the laptop and sync the pictures onto the laptop.
  • You plug the 3G dongle into the laptop so you can use the internet.
  • And you then use the 3G dongle to send the photos through email to the news desk.
