I am sitting here shaking my head in wonder at how terrible that is! :D

Every time someone posts a Rockwell thread I try my best not to look but always seem to and then I realise why I told myself I wouldn't do it again! ;)

So, unmanedpilot, you use Kens technique a lot then (according to your avatar) :lol:

Clever :cool:

Have you read more than one article? I ask because all his articles are equally as bad!

I read his advice on selecting cameras :rolleyes:

I love how he says that the Kit lens is all you'll ever need, but then goes on to list lenses you'll need for other things...

That site contains utter garbage but I strangely can't help reading it all the time :D
You've just got to laugh :D

The only problem with his philosophy is that while you are standing there thinking and pondering (FART - Ask and Refine) the opportunity (the picture) either changed, walked away or disappeared altogether.

Thats one of his specialities - contradicting himself.

Like Anke, it is so bad you just get drawn into reading it to find out what his latest steaming pile of horse *^%$ is.
