I was just reading my book. No one had said anything to initiate a conversation about guns, or paedophiles, or using one on the other. He just said it to be cool. You're cool, geeves. you're shooting paedophiles cool. I'm going in, yo: I didn't realize how bad the large format problem really was until I looked into the ghettos of Flickr and discovered http://www.flickr.com/groups/largeformat/ it's like they have these kick-rear end cameras but nothing to point them at

I HATE CARS posted:We were talking about HDR and Flickr the 5 posts above it so I'm not sure what you're on about. alright. fair point, sorry geeves. I only posted that because I looked at your blog and noticed your love of hate, without relevancy/without borders. whoa hating hdr just loving depresses me because it seems like such a easy way out of improving yourself. "my own work is poo poo, but by hating this particular filter that is used by many, and not using it myself, I can therefore feel better about my own work, which is still poo poo." I just hate photographers.

Kinda pointless to hate on others especially when you can learn something from it. Unless the photo is a men's bathroom taken by Ken Rockwell with +8 saturation.

What made them lift up the camera and capture that image, or what made them use the settings they used. I agree, this is my life philosophy. There's too much hate in the world and not enough understanding.

pixiq article posted:The FX user will claim better subject isolation when using equivalent aperture values, while the DX user can equally claim the wider aperture required to achieve a similar DoF will mean they can shoot at a proportionally faster shutter speed, since the lens is not stopped down as far. This from an article about the pros and cons of FX v. DX in Nikon. The whole thing reads like a guy who has a crop camera and is pissed at Nikon making their top of the line cameras full frame. http://www.pixiq.com/article/the-nikon-dx-fx-formats-pro-et-contra Don't know why the article rubbed me the wrong way so badly, but it just has too much ever so slight bias and misinformation.

I thought the line of thinking was essentially FF is the best but crop sensors do a pretty good job for most users.

Somehow he things a higher pixel density is an advantage? Given two different sensors of equal MP, the larger one will have less diffraction and more detail. His point of crop factor being a benefit is just as retarded as a 1.4 extender is much more better than a 1.5 crop factor. His idea that the extra stop gained when comparing depth of field is just insane. I can't think of ever being stuck shooting at f/2 thinking "drat it, why can't I use f/2.8", and if I ever do, I'll use that extra stop of ISO that full frames gain. The thought that FF cameras have bad vignetting is blaming the wrong thing. Vignetting is bad lens design, not bad camera design, and given the advancement of digital lens correction it is a completely irrelevant point.

Actually crop sensors are awesome because they're cheaper in just about every way except maybe wide angle lenses.

My wife and I don't really want kids yet, but those photos are awesome. On the other hand, I just got my Canon lens cup. I don't drink coffee, and I prefer to drink out of glass so I think I'm going to plant a cactus in it and keep it on my desk at work.

Is there any general consensus on Ken Rockwell around here? I see people often linking to his site on other photography forums. I just can't find myself getting into anything he has to say. After hearing how I'm an idiot for using a tripod during the day because he failed to account for the multitude of reasons why someone might use one, and being told to use the FART system for better photos, I felt I was done with Mr. Rockwell. Should I give him another chance?
