what do we think about Ken Rockwell ?

>>3124026
i mean, i like his website, useful af

>>3124026
Great website and resources. Not so keen on him as a photographer.

>>3124054
why so ?

>>3124060
For someone so incredibly knowledgeable about cameras and shooting you'd think most of his photos would be more than oversaturated snapshits. To be fair he has a lot of good work but his style is so overbearing and inflexible, and many of his subjects essentially quite boring.

>>3124026
He is a dad boner weirdo but there is A LOT of good info on his website

>>3124098
He FARTs, there's no way he made boring photos !

Be careful OP, you might accidentally form your own opinions and preferences that don't conform to those of the other anons
We wouldn't want that on a creative board now would we

Bet he has a big dick.

>>3124026
extremely useful info.
Not into his photo work.

>>3124026
As a photographer? Very little.

He's the leading expert in anal probes and has multiple government contracts, so I have to give him props for that.

>>3124026

Why should I listen to somebody who knows shit all about what they are doing; instead of a photographer I'd find in an art gallery? He is the epitome of talent-less gearfag.

He is my lord and saturator

I like his reviews in general especially for M mount lenses. His articles are generally bullshit.

>>3125223
Funny. I hate his reviews but I like his articles.

>>3124026
He rambles on like he has a mental disorder and jumps all over the place. Just another wanna be

>>3125223
>>3125226
They're both bullshit. He's bilking the credulous, people for whom bullshit is actually much better a deal than outright ignorance. And he's completely transparent about it as well, to people who know how to look.

>>3125400
> And he's completely transparent about it as well, to people who know how to look.
> He calls nearly every new camera he reviews the best camera [manufacturer] has ever made.
You're so smart, you cracked the code, anon.

You will never make a enough money to fund your midlife-crisis-mobile out of gearfags by making baseless reviews under the guise of feeding your growing family.

why live

>>3124026
I think he posts on /p/. he helped me once.

Someone has those screencaps where he reacts to /p/ memes?

>Went to his site
>"I shoot in JPEG Basic"
>"RAW takes up too much data"

Is this nigger serious?

>>3124205
I remember when I thought cranking saturation up made for better photos. I was 18.

"daughter, why do you say 'roastie' like a bitter internet virgin, instead of talking like how small children actually talk?"

cumtribute ?

The guy is a legend, when he is in a video you know it won't disappoint.

His website made me get the Df and probably 90% of my Nikkor glass, excellent reviews.

His photography is barely Sugar-tier but the guy knows his equipment. His review for 18-55 VRII had me sold so much I traded my 35 1.8 for one.

>>3127457
over sharpened as fuck. I swear to God Rockwell is trolling the photography community hardcore.

>>3133737
nobody cares. Well, except me, since I responded.

>>3133742

Isn't he rumored to lurk here?

I was a meme before the word meme was coined.
