The f/8 part is easy. It's the BE THERE that stumps me most often.
Last night, 'round midnight, they blew up a section of the old Woodrow Wilson Bridge here in DC. I thought it might have had the potential to be a cool photo op. I debated heading down to shoot it, knowing there might not be a good vantage point for us non-credentialed-journalists to shoot from. So I bailed on the idea. I should have at least tried. I'm so lame.
So, instead of seeing photos of what I may have gotten, here's a shot that a credentialed photographer from the Washington Times got:

On the Wash Post's site there is a cool, short Shockwave movie of the demolition as it happens. The page with the link to the movie is here
From the looks of both the video and still photo, there must have been a press room set up in one of the apartments right next to the highway. I gotta get me some o' them credential things.
Be there. Be there. Be there. Be there. It sounds so easy.
