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."

Cell Phone Downloads July 15-July 22

Pictures that I downloaded off my cell phone this past week. A particularly eclectic bunch...

Worship Leaders Conference check in day.

Church--view of the north entrance of the west building.

Sunrise. Rare shot, since morning is not my thing.

    I've been trying to get over here and a couple times Blogger mystery--or something.

    Anyway, good round-up! Please tell me though, when you use phone as camera, how do you download? Do you have to have IM or something on your phone?

    I am clueless.

    Ann T:
    My phone saves to an itty bitty card which after you put it in an SD adapter can be down loaded. Maybe I'll do a blog entry.

    Blogger is a mystery at times!

    LOL!
