Camera Stuff

Rollei35s Filters

I always wanted to pick up some orginal Rollei Accessories for my dad’s camera but have never been able to find them. Yesterday I saw an ad for some so I met up this morning (jurong east at 7am..) and pick up 2. I actually wanted the even older ones but these would do for now.. After 100 MCQs this afternoon my brain is still pretty wasted so I’ve been relaxing for quite a while doing brainless things. Did a product shoot for these 2 things. Just a plain white background. Think I should get some nice flexible white card to do more of this in future.

Ken Rockwell facts

* Ken Rockwell is the Chuck Norris of photography

* Ken Rockwell’s camera has similar settings to ours, except his are: P[erfect] Av[Awesome Priority Tv[Totally Awesome Priority] M[ajestic]

* Ken Rockwell doesn’t color correct. He adjusts your world to match his.

* Sure, Ken Rockwell deletes a bad photo or two. Other people call these Pulitzers.

* Ken Rockwell doesn’t adjust his DOF, he changes space-time.

* Circle of confusion? You might be confused. Ken Rockwell never is.

* Ken Rockwell doesn’t wait for the light when he shoots a landscape – the light waits for him.

* Ken Rockwell never flips his camera in portrait position, he flips the earth

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

* Ken Rockwell is the only person to have photographed Jesus; unfortunately he ran out of film and had to use a piece of cloth instead.

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

* 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

* Rockwellian policy isn’t doublethink – Ken doesn’t even need to think once

* Ken Rockwell doesn’t use flash ever since the Nagasaki incident.

* Only Ken Rockwell can take pictures of Ken Rockwell; everyone else would just get their film overexposed by the light of his genius

* Ken Rockwell wanted something to distract the lesser photographers, and lo, there were ducks.

* Ken Rockwell is the only one who can take self-portraits of you

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

* Ken Rockwell once designed a zoom lens. You know it as the Hubble SpaceTelescope.

* When Ken unpacks his CF card, it already has masterpieces on it.

* Rockwell portraits are so lifelike, they have to pay taxes

* On Ken Rockwell’s desktop, the Trash Icon is really a link to National Geographic Magazine

* Ken Rockwell spells point-and-shoot “h-a-s-s-e-l- b-l-a-d”

* When Ken Rockwell went digital, National Geographic nearly went out of business because he was no longer phyically discarding photos

* For every 10 shots that Ken Rockwell takes, 11 are keepers.

* Ken Rockwell’s digital files consist of 0′s, 1′s AND 2′s.

* Ken Rockwell never focus, everything moves into his DoF
Don’t knowf this has been posted before. Just come across this an I think they’re hilarious.

* Ken Rockwell’s shots are so perfect, Adobe redesigned photoshop for him: all it consists of is a close button.

* The term tripod was coined after his silhouette

* Ken Rockwell never produces awful work, only work too advanced for the viewer

* A certain braind of hig-end cameras was named after people noticed the quality was a lot “like a” rockwell

* Ken Rockwell isn’t the Chuck Norris of photography; Chuck Norris is the Ken Rockwell of martial arts.

* Ken Rockwell never starts, he continues

Benny’s Wedding on Rolleiflex

Well, not all of them are great but I like some of them very much. This is like.. $36 worth of photos including both film and developing. Haha.. actually that’s crazy now I realise. If I divide it among the photos I like.. That’s like $6 a shot.
