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."

Bush Blooming


Dark leaves, white flowers, blue sky....

This tree is one of my favorites--so pretty with small white blooms against the dark leaves. I'm terrible about this--I have no idea what it is called. If you think you know, save me a Google, and leave your thoughts in the comment section.

    Ann T:
    This bush/tree is not uncommon in our metro, and seems quite hardy. I really like it. Thanks for stopping by.
