Remember the “f/8” Part

We came around a corner and met a cloud of dust, a couple hundred feet of skid marks, and a mostly upside-down VW in a ditch. No other cars in sight. We pulled over, called 911, and jumped out of the car just in time to watch the driver kick his way through a shattered sunroof.

There’s an old adage in photojournalism: “f/8 and be there.” Now we don’t even have to remember the “f/8” part.
