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,
    JUST like my GirlCat. What a couple of sissy-girls they are, and doesn't it work for them!!

    Despite the boxing glove feet, Miss GirlCat is light on her feet, very dainty!
