Yes you are right, there are many different approaches to photography. I work at a daily newspaper and few photographers use a tripod there. Street photography and grab shots don't need tripods. If you are using a high speed film, flash or shooting snapshots etc you don't need a tripod. But if you are serious about photography, like I think the majority of people here are, and shoot nature, pictorial or subjects that require some thought, you are doing yourself, your photography and your equipment a disservice by not using a tripod for most of your shots. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
