Enhancing OPF: opf8.com

Asher Kelman

OPF Owner/Editor-in-Chief
We've struggled with getting a really short URL for folk to pull up Openphotographyforums. The simple OPF names are all long taken. So until now, I've been using opfora and .com, .info or .org all work and are forwarded nicely. However, it would be nice to have something even simpler.

So now we have opf8.com and that brings to mind the aphorism, "f8 and be there", attributed to a host of celebrated photographers.

BTW, it's also good to remember another POINT ABOUT F8.0. Today with tiny 7 micron pixels, the f8.0 aperture is the mark beyond which, in most compact digital cameras, one risks the start of recognizable fine detail degradation because of the tiny aperture and diffraction.

The main part of the "f8 and be there!" is being there. We want you to take pictures from there and post them here! With cell phones, editing apps and a shortened url, that should be easier. :)

Neat, and clever. Thanks.
