F8 and Be There

Before digital cameras came along, you had to set your "F stop" to the proper setting to have the right exposure for your photos. There was a saying among photojournalists: "F8 and be there."--set your camera to F8, and get to the scene ready to go. Not that much has changed, really.

Welcome to the Observer's Photo Blog

Truth be told, I wanted to be a photojournalist when I grew up.

Quotes

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough."

"The pictures are there, and you just take them."

    Dear The Observer,
    These are incredible! What a fun hike--I saw that it wasn't Too bad from your other blog.

    But I like these shots the best.

    Thanks for a lovely view of a private place,
    Ann T.

    I wish you could hear it as well. The sound of rushing water was quite unexpected. Thanks for looking in!
