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."

WW II photographer Robert Capa

Good stuff--there is more, but my current WiFi connection is slow with photos--took almost 10 minutes to download these.

Basketball Action Is Back




It took about a half to get back into the swing of the thing taking basketball pics but several good ones happened. I anticipate more as I am planning on going to several games over the next week.
