The one person you should ignore completely is Ken Rockwell.
The guy is a total joke. Use his
information for a laugh, and nothing more.
Quotes from some of his workshops -
"My 14rmm lens makes this room look much larger than it is. The restaurant has many other rooms to compensate for this."
"Since my 5D isn't smart enough to set contrast automatically as my Nikons do, sometimes I forget to
check it and make shots with the wrong setting."
"The Canon 70-300 IS works great for panning, and I haven't even read the instructions on how to use it. I used it in IS MODE I, and I suspect that I should have used IS MODE II for panning. I don't know, "
"There isn't much out in
the desert. "
"The key is to be sufficiently observant to recognize that it's time to shoot"... "I don't need no stinking tripod, even though I always have one in the car. In cases like this I use the Continuous shutter mode and hold the shutter button down long enough to fire several shots. I later select the sharpest. "
"As usual, I had to use my left hand, held up and to the right, to block the sun from shining into the lens. I held my 5D in my right hand."
"I used DxO Optics Pro software to stretch my fisheye image back to a conventional, flat image. The image from the camera was the usual useless curvy image. "
"My 14mm lens has ghosts, which I eliminated by standing so the sun went behind the pole. In retrospect, even though looking at the sun leads to blindness, ghosts would have added more irony to the photo."
