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."

Sea of White



These amazing plants did their thing again this year. They are amazing--I even found some among the brambles in the back yard.

The flowers seemed to like the winter we had--everything has bloomed like crazy this spring/summer! Lots of flower pictures to look at. Also, Sunday night and Monday night had fabulous pink sunsets and I got a few pictures (of course).

    Ann T:
    I wish I knew. Several things were planted when I moved here. These things are hardy and spread like crazy. I wish they bloomed twice a season. Guess that's a little much to ask...

    Thanks for stopping in!
