Re: Ok so everyone seems to want lively debate (not flame wars)

I was listening to the radio while driving home this afternoon.   I was 
surprised to hear the radio show was about photography.   The subject talked 
about was the photography of car races (I believe Danbury Races?) with a 4 X 
5 Speed Graphic.  The two photographer's talking reminisced about when the 
photographer only had one chance to get "The" shot - when the action was at 
its apex, the lighting was perfect and there was no blurring.  It sounds 
rather challenging when we consider that we can shoot - how many images in 
seconds today?

I didn't get the photographers' names, but the conversation was interesting 
and I had to marvel at the thought of photographing car races with a 4 X 5.

It saddens me, and often amazes me, how sloppy much of today's photography 
is (images stretched or smashed to fit the area in which the photograph is 
injected - newspapers are usually guilty of this).
