Please join us today at 2 p.m. ET for part four of our series of CNN iReport boot camp roundtable discussions. Today we'll discuss how to capture good photos and videos.

Capturing great images is key to the storytelling process and is a necessary skill in the online media world. In the fourth week of CNN iReport boot camp, we challenged iReporters to show off their photography and videography skills.

Below in the comments, CNN photojournalists Matt Rond and John Nowak will offer feedback on several iReporters' photography submissions, and CNN.com Digital Content Producer and Editor Nick Scott will share his thoughts on some standout video submissions. During the roundtable, everyone will have a chance to ask questions of Rond, Nowak and Scott.

We will focus on photography for the first half of the roundtable and video for the second half. At the end of the roundtable, we will open the floor to any additional boot camp questions.

You can be a part of the discussion, even if you didn't participate in the boot camp assignments. Just check out CNN photojournalists Mark Hill, David Holloway and Nowak's tips on photography and Scott's tips on shooting video, and have your questions ready.

In addition to our expert advice and feedback, we have picked a handful of iReporters, called Core iReporters, to give their thoughts about several of this week's submissions.

These Core iReporters have selected their top submissions for this week's assignment, which you can read about in the photo gallery above. They were chosen by the iReport staff because of the journalism skills they have shown through their iReports.

Click through the gallery to see what these Core iReporters had to say for week four of boot camp. And at 2 p.m. ET, please come back to the comments section below for our roundtable discussion.
