    I was called to a three alrm fir the other day that was only about two blocks from the office. It was insane. I got to be down with the fireman and right next to the building(I love my press pass). Here's my favorite pic from it all. Why didn't it run? No one can figure that out.

    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">if you mean f/8 for doF, then I'd have to disagrre with ya. I think the DoF is perfect for it.

    But if you mean for exposure you gotta remember this picture was edited for newspaper printing. I have a print of the original. Give me a couple hours to buy a new USB printer cable and i'll scan it for ya.

    It wasn't a comment on the pic -

    I just find it funny that when you read any book or article related to journalistic photography, they always use the phrase "f/8 and be there" as the attitude the photographer should take. Set the camera to f/8 and start snapping. Worry only on composition.

    WRONG. Knowing you camera the conditions allows for a much better photo that conveys far more than the moment in time it was possibly only originally conceived to be.

    Heaving the DoF setting you employed allowed for a greater scene to be taken in, telling more of the story than most people look at anyway.

    As I said, great shot.

    Cool

    The editor probably found the background too plain for newsprint if it was gonna run black and white.
    Interesting shot though... I'd like to see the rest of it. You could probably crop it better for your wall or portfolio. Who cares what their reason for not running it was?
