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."

Pink Flower



These don't last long but they are a pretty pink. The Color is not quite done justice here.

    Dear T.O.
    Oh! I'm going to ask--if you know--what are they?
    The more flowers I see, the less I know!

    I know nothing. They were here when I got here.
