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."

Angle


Same play, two different angles. The top photo is from The Jackson County Advocate and the bottom photo is mine. I did not know I had gotten that moment caught until I got the photo up on the 15 inch screen.

Can I tell you that the fact that the referee did not dispense a Technical Foul on the Truman High player for hanging onto the rim was just a tad controversial there in the Ruskin gym?

The sound gave it away!

How much to reveal? There are some nutty people out there! Leave it to say right now that I am well educated, a person of the Christian faith, and never without an opinion.
