Ken Rockwell - the net bites back

[stigmundfreud]

I enjoy reading his stuff but he does come over a bit like Steve Gibson (Sheilds up fame)

these had me in tears

I'd managed to blank Steve "Your PC is doomed" Gibson from my memory. Cheers

that used to be my gig since leaving school, security. It was Rockwell that reminded me of him - his blind belief in himself is commendable

I especially like:

-Before Nikon or Canon releases a camera they go to Ken and they ask him to test them, the best cameras get a Nikon sticker and the less good get a Canon sticker

-Once Ken tested a camera, he said I cant even put Canon on this one, thats how Pentax was born

-Ken Rockwell doesn't use flash ever since the Nagasaki incident.

[poah]

my favs


Ken Rockwell ordered an L-lens from Nikon, and got one.

Ken Rockwell's nudes were fully clothed at the time of exposure

When Ken Rockwell brackets a shot, the three versions of the photo win first place in three different categories

the exposure one had me in tears. I know its sad to laugh but the humour was really good!

I had not heard of Ken Rockwell prior to this thread, but have since looked him up.

So is it a case that he is considered a very good photographer, or is it more that he considers himself a very good photographer?

Cheers

He's like a big soft kid.

In his defense though, he does do some of the most in depth equipment tests on the net.

As it happens though I do look at his hardware reviews BUT he is the photographic version of Gibson (sorry FG). There is arogance and self belief then there is rockwell

Maybe i should have said 'Nikon equipment tests'.
