Kenny is a misunderstood genius

>>4405349
as a photographer and Dad I have to say you young dudes just don't *get* the masterpieces that Ken Rockwell makes.

when you're a full time father you don't have time for any artsy-fartsy san francisco horse shit.
you start to appreciate going to a nice american park with your family, snapping a few pics and having beautiful color prints to give to friends and family or hang on your wall.
you don't need raw if you value your time and aren't some emo teen.
no one in the real world wants to see your desaturated ugly "art" shots.
no one has time for that except teenage bums who sniff their own butts.
when you all grow older you'll understand, and you'll be able to afford to give Ken a few dollars for his family.

>>4405348 (OP)
>>4405349
Ken is based because he makes zoomers and soillenials kvetch.

>>4405350
Was my screensaver for years. I like how it looks like an abstract painting, but it actually a photograph.

>>4405403
Thanks, anon. I just sent him another $20. I've been blessed.

what a surprise

>>4405390
Be sure to flush when you leave the bathroom.

>>4405523
Okay. I just call it how I see it.

>>4405350
I guess it's nice, but I really don't get it
Why is it the most expensive photo ever made

>none of my photos were posted ITT
Whew

Love him or hate him ken has a recognizable style and that puts him above 99% of photographers

>>4405348 (OP)
Someone post the "please feed my growing family" meme

>>4405527
If I was you and you were me, should I treat you like me?

Well that's because they were taken on
>ALL YOU'LL EVER NEED

>>4405551
Yes.

>>4405537
When will your family cease growing?

>>4405553
Yeah I got my keys they're in my car for when I need to drive to work, thank you for reminding me about my car keys.

>>4405563
No. I would be a fucking prick.

>>4405466
finally a reasonable guy who understands what it's all about
>>4405476
"breeders"
listen son, you'll understand when you find a good woman. you eventually grow out of that emo crap and just want to settle down and have kids.
i swear my kids are the greatest joy of my life, and i love taking photos of those littler buggers.
you will too one day haha just wait.

>>4405466
>I like how it looks like an abstract painting, but it actually a photograph.
Barely. It's so heavily edited that it may as well be a painting.

>>4405476
Find Jesus.

Money laundering

>>4405743
Also agree, but I like the final product so yeah.

>>4405752
Definitely.

>>4405365
you are retarded

>>4405348 (OP)
i don’t care about anyones digital slop, none of it matters anymore anyway. but I do like that ken put together lens comparisons, so I don’t have to buy all four 20mm lenses to find the one I like and lose 25% of the value on the rest selling the other three off.

how so? is manufactured nationalism for you? Did you stand up and put your hand in your heart whenever bruce springsteen's "born in the usa" is played? did you clap whenever planes landed?

>>4405349
Holy fuck, the horizon is actually painful to look at. I had to turn down the screen brightness.

Are you for real? Expensive in which sense?

>>4405365

Now you know where Sierra got their logo from. Their old headquarters used to be at the base of that mountain.

Various shades of horror.
So happy to have a digital camera with superb colors. Way more important than one with many megapickles imo.

>>4414893
Defaked

>>4414913
You should experiment with film emulation to breathe some life into those digital photos.

>>4414916
Finally, the truth. Both anusonic and snoy have horrible colors.

>>4414917
The colors are so nice I think it makes up for it. It could be a fun experiment tho. One of the editors I use has a film sim. Maybe I'll see how it looks tonight. :D

Should I use light, med, or heavy?

>>4414916

Not a film sim, a grain sim. Sorry!

>>4414921
Try the DxO Filmpack 7 30 day free trial. I would just use the default settings, but it is all completely adjustable.

>>4414916
Her makeup looks awful. I think it makes the portraits even more awful.

>>4414923
With DxO you can turn the grain off, the film emulations are actually quite accurate.

>>4414924
Do you pronounce dxo like "dick-so"?

>>4414927
That's a good question lol

Note the very noticeable grain density difference between the Ilford film stock and the Polaroid film stock.

Make up still looks disgustingly caked on. What is wrong with women?

>>4414940
Her significant other probably tells her to cake it on.

>>4414941
>significant other
quit speaking like a faggot.

>>4414942
>how dare you use a word with 4 syllables

>>4414944
just say boyfriend like a normal human being

>>4414888
That's some neat trivia, thank you.

>>4414942
Okay, her boyfriend/fucktoy that reams her tender, puckered asshole demands that she cakes the makeup on.

>>4414968
Why? Because she is ugly underneath the clown mask? It makes the pictures look disgusting.

>>4405348 (OP)
yeah lets just move the sunset the other way. fucking retard

>>4405364
>>4405365
IIRC, the raising of the flag actually happened. The photog wasn't around, so they did it again, at the same spot, roughly the same way, when he did show up.

>OMG SO FAKE
95% of all photos are fake, by that definition. But that's not their purpose. The purpose of this photo specifically was propaganda, which it served perfectly.

>>4415126
>95% of all photos are fake, by that definition. But that's not their purpose
Majority of anons here are beyond realising that photography is not always about a 1:1 recreation of realism.
Fuck, depending on where you draw the line, stacking, stitching, double exposures, and pasting in that 400mm zoomed moon shot into your landscape to make it look more impressive are all "faking" it.

it JUST missed focus otherwise everything else is good
