Here is a photo KR thought would be a good example of a high quality image a given camera takes.

Gee thanks Ken.
>>
>>4480303
Putting a camera in kens hands gimps it hard. According to ken rockwell the nikon z8 isnt good enough for him and the canon r5 has the same IQ as an iphone. remember to set sharpening and saturation to max, shoot jpeg because raw is a time wasting scam, and stop all the way down because diffraction is a pixel peeper lie! gee why does it look like a phone photo

wheres mah cloud detect autofocus ree

he makes the /p/-specific two man sony hate brigade look skilled, knowledgeable, and grounded in reality

>>4479987
the trash icon is just a link to his portfolio, which he likes to think is national geographic, with as much truth to it as his status as a professional with clients and awards

running a joke lie for 20 years just makes you a liar
>>
>>4480307
You just sound angry and jealous about ken's success and growing family.

most of the people on this board are liberal arts majors who try way to hard to make their photo look good only to circle back and make their photos look like shit.
Are there """rules""" for photography? yeah shit like rule of thirds, but like music theory those are more like guidelines to help you take a good photograph. People on here take good photographs but some of them try so hard it circles back to being shit
>>
>>4480361
Yeah we all know the “best” artists never go to no stinkin art school, they go to engineering school & fail at becoming engineers too.

The man is fucked, honestly. I feel bad for his kids.
>no time to eat healthy kids the z8 isnt good enough for daddy so he has to go try out the a1 and r5 and take the same six photos as the last 100 times. have a pizza instead.

I'm fine with Rockwell, I like his equipment reviews.

He's a good photographer, I know /p/ gives him shit for pumping up saturation levels and only shooting on jpeg but he has his own style, people will know a ken rockwell photo when they see it.
>>
>>4479867
He likes cameras, and likes a certain look no matter what others say.

/p/ hates cameras, and follows whatever is trending.

>people will know a ken rockwell photo when they see it.
boomers all take the same kind of fucked up saturation photos because their eyes are falling
>>
>>4480881
No, it's because he came crom film.
During the film age, the boomers all had gearfag wars over which film stocks had the vest colors. At the time, this mean which film stock had the MOST colors, because a problem with film is that some color ranges are less saturated.
So when they shelled out their kidneys for the new digital cameras and found out you could blast colors to nuclear waste, they mistakenly thought they had "won" the gearfag autism bowl.
Ken just never escaped this mindset.

I am pretty sure he is literally color blind. That's not a joke, partial color blindness is much more frequent than you think, it's just that most people doesn't even know they have it because it's not total color blindness (that's rare). It happens more often to men than to women, that's were the stereotype that man are bad with colors come from.
>>
i think hes funny and his site is usefull
>>
I use to frequent /p/ in like 2011-2012 and remember him being on here all the time. I kinda stopped using 4chin for years after that, but check in here every now and then. why are y'all still posting this guy? I legit forgot he even existed till I came back here. it's like he only exists in some weird /p/ realm.

Yeah this why most cameras retain the ability, which almost nobody uses, to "rockwell" the colors even when shooting jpeg. Because its what people wanted when switching from film to digital.

And why older digital sensors are said to have been designed for more saturated colors. People now describe these as "film like", but what they really were made to do was cater to this desire for more saturated colors than film. The genuinely film-like thing about CCDs is being like *slide* film in being more saturated than negative film, and also blowing out the highlights to pure white like slide (but not negative) film.

Are you surprised? Really? Sugar, doghair, and burt are all 30-50 and married or have "permanent girlfriends" and half the people who post shit shot around their own house obviously live in mcmansions. Yes, some 4chan users even have children.

Negative film blows highlights to white all the time wtf are you talking about? You can recover some of that in a scan but if you want a properly exposed photo of anything that's not in direct sun on a sunny day your sky is going to be white (just as an example)
