    Uncle Dick, I must say, you are my favorite on this list. The naked 
lady with old butts *cough* has been done to death here in Montreal 
Canada where I live. I'll have to think of something new.

    I shoot lots of road bike racing and lots of documentary type 
photography. I am looking into getting a 4x5 (and the Shen Hao has 
peaked my interest) in order to take "sportraits" which is a lousy term 
for portraits of athletes. http://www.shampoo.ca for an example of one 
female cyclist I have scheduled to shoot. But none of my portraits will 
be done in the studio. They will all be environmental portraits. I like 
using one simple strobe with softbox to light up the subject and to use 
nice natural light to light up the background.

    One of the ideas that I have is to shoot athletes after they finish 
their events hoping to capture the effort after the fact..

    I would also like it for "urban landscapes" like the one I shot this 
past winter: http://www.shampoo.ca/pics/apad-cold-3-medium.jpg That was 
done with a Nikon F5 and some Velvia. I could only imagine what it would 
have looked like with a 4x5..

    Thanks Uncle Dick and everyone else who has helped with my 
questions. You are all very, very helpful and I appreciate the replies.

    J
