So, I went to the recent NASCAR race here at Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, VA. I always look for and watch the professional photographers, and as usual, I noticed the ones representing the major racing publications, etc. But there was one group that stood out, and it was a LOT of them. All were wearing light blue vests with Kodak on the back with an ID number of some sort. And noticeable to me was the variety of equipment. I saw them using Nikons, Canons, I think some other brands, the guy in the first photo below was using the on-camera flash, which I guess is OK but just seemed awkward to me to see a credentialed photographer shooting that way.
Any guesses on who these guys might be shooting for? And why a Kodak vest? I should have asked, and didn't, wish I had now. Because I want a Kodak vest to get in and shoot!

So, is that super so-so, so-so so-so or sub so-so so-so?

This thread turned into a grammar, pinctuation, spelling and language rant. I thought we were here to "talk" photography. There was a thread a few days ago also about spelling, grammar, vocabulary etc. This just wastes bandwidth as I am doing right now!


People are talking photography. The orolginal question has been asked and answered. Nothing to get all uppity about.

You might have noticed I pointed out it needed its own thread.

By the way it is spelled punctuation.

The Kodak vests are probably an advertisement for Kodak. Maybe there freelancers, so they use the free vests.

I like the one guy shooting with the cellphone. Trying to lose weight?

Look at the lens hood on that lens, and you can see how it can protect the lens. Of course, maybe the hood got damaged because it's so big.

So why do people put two question marks at the end of their sentences when one will do it?

So why do people start one sentence without using a capital letter and the other sentence with a capital letter?


Why do people start a sentence with "AND"? Who cares this is not an English class it is a place to share and discuss photos.

Are you a police officer? Public impersonations as a member of a group, club, organization, etc. can be dangerous because you cannot identify the enemies of who you are impersonating but they can quickly [mis]identify you. A police officer is expected to be armed and to defend those who cannot defend themselves. I don't dictate the actions of others. ... just thought you should know in case you hadn't considered this.

So what?

Or I could just say "What?" and it would mean the same thing. Or maybe not.

That is how many people talk to one another and thus, they write it that way. If someone speaking to you said "So there I was flat on my back at 10,000'...." would you interrupt them to discuss grammar?

It's probably the least idiotic thing about the whole post!

Obviously a whole new section is required - Spelling and Grammar.

So, your saying we could start sentences without using So. So, do you feel that's a good idea? So, you think we should all follow this advice? So, how do you really feel about this two letter word? What do you really have against it? I think I might start using it now. So, how do you feel about that?


You left out a few “so’s”. 😏
