Weekly challenge 2/2 - 2/8 f8 and “B” there

[SquarePeg]

Most of us have heard the famous mantra of the photojournalists and street photographers, “f8 and be there”. It really speaks for itself. Being there is the key. For this week’s challenge, let’s give it a flip and make f8 the key. To add to the level of difficulty, make the B in “be there” our subject. Using f8, photograph a subject that begins with the letter b.

As always, new photos only please. Get out there and shoot!

I failed at the photojournalist part and instead found myself using the 70-200 trying to still isolate at f/8.

In addition to the F/8 and B, I used 800 ISO. It just so happens that B means rain in Korean. It was a rainy day.

The weather just refuses to cooperate on weekends and it's dark by the time I get off work so it's definitely a challenge right now.

B is for bricks.

I feel your pain. I'm thinking I should go out and experiment with the flash at night. That can produce some interesting results.
