This photo was ranked amongst the "World's Best Photo of Malaysia"
I don't know of any other art form which uses such expensive equipment, for such a short period of time. The skill of the photographer can not be seen in the split second it takes to take the photo. It is less skill now, anyway, or a different skill. Thinking here of the common 'spray and pray' technique of some sports photographers, say.
