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.

Quotes

"If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough."

"The pictures are there, and you just take them."
