How quickly we forget the days of yore with the likes of One-Shot Charlie
(Charles Hoff NY Daily News) who did sports action photos using *large* format
view cameras (http://www.anian.net/charlie/oneshot.html) or of Cartier-Bresson,
or Robert Capa and the other founders of Magnum Photo who knew how to get the
"Decisive Moment" in a single frame using completely manual RF cameras. Their
techniques are rapidly becoming a "lost art" which is truly sad.
