F**k It. I'm now looking at this purely as definitions for two words
of the English language :-)
The meaning has nothing to do with equipment, subject or location
Snap Shot. Lets break it down!
Snap (Done Suddenly) [adjective, before noun]
"done suddenly without allowing time for careful thought or preparation"
Shot (Photography) [noun]
"a photograph:"
Now if some people can "suddenly without allowing time for careful
thought or preparation" set up there 8x10 view camera & tripod then
that's a snap shot<g>.
Well, they probably can't -- But, if you had the view camera set up for
a nice scenic, and somebody walked into your field of view and struck a
humorous pose and instead of waiting for (or asking, telling,
commanding, screaming at) him to move you just tripped the shutter --
THAT would be a large-format snapshot! Wouldn't it?
