You mean like your comment on page 2: “90% of success is just showing up” (or is the aperture you disagree with?).
Is it that you don’t comprehend it’s the same admonition, or is it just your nature to disagree with anything posted?

It most likely wasn't even true. Art Fellig (known as 'Weegee' to his fans) is credited with coining the phrase, but he probably used f/11 to f/22 more often, since he used a Speed Graphic with 4x5 film.
From WikiPedia: "Most of his notable photographs were taken with very basic press photographer equipment and methods of the era, a 4x5 Speed Graphic camera preset at f/16 at 1/200 of a second, with flashbulbs and a set focus distance of ten feet."

Indeed, but the admonition that showing up (or being there) for the shot (not the aperture) is the important part. It’s a lesson I have emphasized to my sons, and I’m pleased to report they are successful in large part because they “show up”. It’s all about initiative and persistance.

I hope no one would argue that showing up on time, or early, and consistently, is fundamental to success. f/8 works for full frame, but diffraction starts to be a problem on Micro 4/3 at that aperture and smaller.
