but then if you keyed the green to white wouldn't that turn all the reflections and the green colour cast and stuff white too
I dont think so, ive seen videos filmed in front of green screens where they try to key it out but there is still a faint green outline around the person and like on the edges of their hair.
Depends on how much you bleed the chroma over, the tones will be darker green as they reflect off black (plus you have to evenly light the green to get the best key), and then it could eat into the sides of the camera. The less tolerance it has the more it causes transparencies in ungreen areas, which his photos don't seem to have really. From the chroma stuff I've done anyway it hasn't been any easier than trying to get a white background. Easiest thing I've found is using posterboard because it's reflective anyway (but still not perfect).

He doesn't care much about jpg quality or raw because he's not a pixel peeper who thinks a photo is good by how sharp or ~technically perfect~ it is, you could argue he's more pure than a lot of people since not having to worry about technicalities lets you concentrate purely on composition and subject. He has his own way of thinking about photography, and he thinks editing takes away from his workflow and time which could be spent taking photographs and living life. This is apparent from his favorite cameras literally being point and shoots, X100S, and a Fujifilm disposable.
Rings true when I've enjoyed photography more than ever after ditching SLRs. I could have gone full frame but I'd rather have something that makes great jpgs to save my time (still can't get over how good jpgs look on the x-e2) and small enough to just not have to worry about lugging it around, freedom.
i dunno, i understand having a healthy lack of caring for individual pixels, but in the end it's all about maximising information available for me
editing is part of what makes the image, and when your stuff is baked into jpegs you're kinda limited when it comes to editing (and thus more limited to the camera manufacturer's interpretation of what the world looks like)
i mean even in terms of resizing - even if the final result doesn't need to be big, you get more options for noise reduction and sharpening if you have it at full res originally
plus we're quite far from the age of 128mb memory cards now
I'm not saying it's not a good idea to edit, it's just his way of taking pictures and there's nothing wrong with it.
Everyone has different ways of creating a digital image which they're pleased about. For all I know there could be someone making legit art with a flatbed scanner and glowsticks.
i mean hell people did editing way before digital cameras were around, when printing optically and when developing film with different developers and messing with dev times and such

i mean i get what you mean, i guess it's just annoying that ken rockwell's website seems to be one of the first things that people new to photography run into, and at first it looks like some sort of proper camera review site with some useful info, when really it's mostly just his opinions

Yeah, truth.
shooting with disposables at download was my favourite time ever spent with a camera. Bouncing around a pit with a camera in my hand trying to steady myself for just a second to get a good photo
I have to sign off my ideas at university tomorrow for an advert shoot, the brief is basically, to shoot an advert for anything and it is an above the line advert (broad audience, its everywhere pretty much) and its for a billiboard, any ideas? its too broad for me to even think :(
its in a studio so still life, portraits anything. if you have any ideas please can you help thankyou :DD x
i hate being restricted to a studio :(
I'd do like a fake band photo or a food photo. It is pretty vague, now I'm trying to even think of things I see on billboards lol
yeah i was thinking food, i love the heinz ketchup adverts

woaaah dont know how to make them smaller sorry
Instead of {IMG} {/IMG} do {t} {/t} (replace { with [)
It looks like a fun advert to shoot, I would go with something like that. Brainstorming similar ideas seems tough though

do a food one in the style of a band photo - present a group of chefs as band members, with the whole band photo aesthetic

no no, present a group of foods as band members
oh yeah, meant to post about this before, had a dream a few nights ago that went as follows:
walking about in the woods with some friends; suddenly dinosaur appears; dinosaur eats one of my friends, everyone hits it in the face but it doesn't work; the rest of is hide by submerging ourselves in a shallow river (??), dinosaur leaves(????)
some time later, walking along river, get to a town. at this point (for some reason) i remember that i'm actually on mars and it's terraformed which is why it looks normal and not like mars looks
while i'm in the town, i suddenly remember that i'm on a mission to find bopie because he went missing while taking some sick pix somewhere
the end
Okay this is weird.
I made some pictures that clearly had some clipped highlights and shadows in them but there barely visible in light room, what is this sorcery!?!
did you shoot them in raw?
Yep, all raw
Its not like i have absolutely zero clipping in any of the photos, they're just very, very minimal and dont match what i saw in the evf
Makes me wonder if its something to do with the em5 settings
when you import them into raw they get rid of the in camera processing that is done. so they will look different (sometimes when loading you see them look one way, and they flash and look very flat)
Makes me wonder if i can get the evf to show what the picture will look like in raw
i would do portrait styling and just lower the contrast and saturation a bit. you won't get it 1:1, but you can definitely make the raw file look like what you saw in the EVF through processing.
Ill try that when my battery is recharged, thanks for the help!
No probe mate, I aim to help :)
