How many asians are called "Eric Kim" anyways?
asian ken rockwell
>>2724070
about 8 in 10.
Welcome to the Art of Fartography, I'm Ted Forbes. Did I hear someone say fag? I'm here to talk about literally nothing for 15 minutes, thanks for watching.

>>2724102
Stop throwing stones from the shadows and post your photos, asshole. We have enough negativity already, and I'm willing to bet both of these men have produced more work in the past four days than you have all year. There's something to be said for not being a dick.
>INB4 what they don't isn't art, so the photos I don't take are better than the ones that they do, somehow.
>>2724064
>Asian
>Good photographer
Pick one.
>>2724106
These people are being criticized for mannerisms and work ethic surrounding youtube, asking for photography is dumb in this context.
Your cooking is shit, here's some 3d models I whipped up last summer to prove it.
>>2724125
>We have enough negativity already
>>2724102
he actually has some pretty informative stuff on his channel when he's not talking about modern gear or something personally related desu
>>2724064
>Thank you
>Uh-huh
>Yeh..yeh
>*grabs intentinally*
I hate this motherfucker. Not because of what he does, it's more because of his obnoxious appearance.
>>2724064
Can't teII what's more sIanted, his Iips or his eyes.
This guy Iooks Iike the typicaI angry wife beating gook that won his camera in an auction just to show off.

>Eric Kim is a monumental faggot.
of course he is
eric kim, ming thein, that guy who make videos and has a hot wife, "the online photographer", this guy >>2724102 ...
every single regular photoblogger I've seen is a shitty photographer... they're far more involved with blogging, youtube videos etc than to photography.
to the point you could say one gets to be intermediate, not a beginner anymore, when one notices that. then you'll ready some old guys such as clyde butcher and bob carnie and sandy king, which do not write camera/lens reviews, nor write "photographic experience", nor give "tips" to "street photography"; or one start posting his pics on HCSP, rather than gearfagging on /p/, something along these lines...
>>2724106
pic related
>>2724197
I would say that ming thein is head and shoulders above everyone else.
>>2724217
I would agree - I recently saw a gallery showing of Ming's work, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. he's an intelligent writer as well as a good photographer.
Eric Kim, on the other hand, seems like more of a youtube expert....
>>2724197
>photoblogging
At least the Angry Photographer is more involved with delivering the lectures and knowledge than pretending he's some master photographer.
I totally agree, though.
>>2724197
Wow. Some poorly lit worse composed photos of a couple of boring ass plants. Nicely done. So you shitpost on /p/, rather than contributing anything to the world, and you don't even have a mildly interesting photo to show for it...
>>2724070
seriously i know a shit ton of asians and kim is a disposable last name
>>2724064
i used to like him but i realized that he really doesnt know what hes doing, he claims to be "anti gas" (gear aquisition syndrome) but he gets a new set of cameras every few months, he shows the two same photos in every article he posts (the one with the old lady laughing and the old lady with her hands out to the side) his interviews are totally impromptu and are pretty bad, 85 percent of people ive seen on /p/ are better photographers than him, and he has no syle of his own, he tries to borrow from hcb and bruce gilden
seems like a nice guy though, found out he used to live down the street from my church
>>2724217
yes, agree, he's better than, his commercial work is very very good. I had his blog work in mind when cited him.
>>2724223
poor bait
another pic related, maybe this one you like more
>>2724231
Cruz it's not worth arguing with that fag. /p/ is shitted up with underages trying to learn about megapickles in time for Christmas.
this thread was made for me
disregard that, i suck cocks
>>2724064
/r/ the eric kim pasta (bssed on eggy meme) you know the one about the long lens and flash when the newly divorced woman is just trying to go about her day
>>2724064
>Eric Kim is a monumental faggot.
Are you still upset that he exposed your waifu Alamby? She gave what had to be the worst interview and showed the world her dead fish personality. Eric just so happened to have caught it on video and you make him out to be the villain. TOP LEL m8
>>2724282
never understood why people were in love with alamby, i mean sure shes attractive but some people were crazy over her
i guess it was because the only other people on the show were a british asian who dressed weird and a 98 pound chinese man
He's technically an okay photographer. I just wish he'd try something other than street. It's always about the RICOH GR and RANGEFINDERS.
And his advice about dressing like a tourist is kind of off since he forgets not everyone is Asian or touristy.

whats his worse video?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2SwyKITEVg
i couldn't believe the arrogance this guy has.
his ego is insane i don't normally comment on youtube personalities but wow this guy takes it to another level.
His claims are outrageous.
The fedora doesn't help either.
>>2724565
Might be the one where he is in Japan Camera Hunter's flat (who is another complete wank) where he is just fondling all of his expensive cameras and generally being an awkward prick
>buy books not gear
>buys expensive gear
>>2724569
>I'm a photography professional who's traveled all over the world
>I'm currently standing in Tasmania Australia
>I've probably done the most shutter actuations of anyone on this planet
I don't know if I should blame this guy himself, or the environment he was probably raised him, which conditioned him to think primarily with a competitive brain, that's constantly comparing things and looking to be "the best". Regardless, these statements of his, among others in the video, are just lol.
>>2724231
it's a nice photo but it's the only one you ever post
>>2724600
Partially, it's the market. Like I only photog for money on the side. I don't want to be full pro, but I do like that the hobby pays for itself these days. That said, I studied photography as a second major in college and have spent a decade since then refining my technique. I'm not the best but I'm far better than most out there. I say all of that to say this: I lose business to far cockier photographers because I under sell my abilities.
>>2724608
yes, I got a bunch pics from this year but haven't scanned it yet, these are from ending of past year, when I got back to /p/. here's something even older...
>>2724608
don't forget the horse.
I mean I would like to like he guy, I like some of his shots but his personality really puts me off. He has some good info on his blog and on his videos, but also so much awkward/cringey stuff especially in the videos that I can't watch. I respect the guy though, he's doing and apparently succeeding in what he's passionate about.

Still has to learn a thing or two from Ricoh Pentax though.

If you idiots don't like a YouTube person, stop watching them. If you think you're better, go make videos yourself. I'm willing to bet every single mouth breather in here would make all of 4 videos before giving up, because it's not "art" like your shitpics.
Go beat off to some MTF Curves or Something, instead of bitching about people making a living doing something.
>>2725027
And yet they can't get down the basic shit, like an intuitive and user-friendly menu. The AR7 II, while a technological tour-de-force, is riddle with arbitrary BS that has no place in this day and age
If Canon could get their shit together, they'd be unstoppable. Pentax is cool and all, but they need a better lens selection.

A7R II isn't their speartip, their smaller 1 inch sensors are.

ming thein is actually gud
>>2725064
He was for a while but now he apparently just takes a bunch of photos of nothing and has his head way up his own ass. I think it started around the time he tried to break into the fine art world, got shit on by a bunch of galleries, and then cried a whole bunch about how they don't understand him and his photos are too good for them and art buyers are too stupid to understand.
>>2725075
So.. just like any wannabe "artist"?
>>2724562
seriously, i didnt even notice when she left because she only appeared for 30 seconds once every 2 videos
she was a good director tho
>>2725366
She made a quiet exit from the show several months ago. Despite the speculation from the beta orbiters in the comment section, there was no nasty fallout with the producer or Kai, Lok, etc.
If you're so inclined, you could follow her on instashit. The comments are always comedycringe gold.

>If you don’t think you can be as clever and witty as Kai, or talk like Jared Polin from "Fro Knows Photos" (he’s got over 1500 videos uploaded!?), or have bizarre photo shoot ideas like Ben Von Wong’s, perhaps don’t do it.

His image quality and editing are great. It's a Leica. But his framing and all is very off.
Eric Kim is the best asian ever made by Leica, crazy as it seems.

also downloaded one of his presets that he "spent two years perfecting"
it was total shit, just him trying to be daido

wow that advice about starting your own channel is shit, like the most popular channels are funny or quirky but some of the best channels are just purely informative
>>2724569
gah this guy is probably paid by Sony, how could a company want to be associated with him
>>2724064
Circlejerking is 1000 times more fun than the solo masturbation that is auto focus.
>>2725618
He is paid by Rotolight, not Sony.
The Sony Artisan program means they invite him to certain press events and certain Q/A sessions or briefings that are otherwise closed to the public.
>>2725618
Not that I believe but Angry Photographer said that Nikon approached him too.
>>2725655
Nikon and Sony doesn't do that kind of sponsorship programs.
The only program I know of that lends you goods is the Zeiss one, they let you beta test some of the lenses before they are launched.

so, without memes and insults why do you hate him?
>>2725612
I don't get the hate. I was looking at a few cameras, and his website gave solid advice on them. Explain what's so bad.
What are some decent channels?
I have zero idea, I just check digitalrev because it's like the top gear of photography, other than I guess there's museums with their own channels, old documentaries uploaded by random people, and shit but what else?
>>2729083
DO YOU SHOOT RAW?
>>2729083
B&H
Filmmaker IQ
Every Frame a Painting
Those are one of the most curated educational content that I remember. Other channels end up being more about gear or entertainment.
This one is the most recent and one of the all time best that I've watched.

What's worse with JL are his Fony fanboys who will defend anything he shills.

Angry Photographer aka Theoria Apophasis seems to have useful photography tricks. He has GAS though but it's probably due to coping up with the lost of his wife.

I would say the level of butthurt coming from Angry Photographer is greater than anything.
>>2731134
Do you mind explaining that?
Keep in mind that you are allowed to be impressed by the technology Sony is bringing to the table, without being a paid shill.
>>2731137
sounds like we got a shill, guys
>>2731134
As a reviewer its hard not being a sony shill, when sony are the only one releasing an exiting camera this year. Hopefully 2016 will be more diverse.
>>2731188
BSI,
BSI with stacked RAM,
Electronic variable ND filter,
Electronic variable low pass filter,
The things Sony invents will eventually benefit everyone, even you. Try not to take it as a personal insult if some reviewer praise new breakthroughs in camera technology.
>>2731195
Yep, Pentax is releasing two DSLRs, Nikon is preparing a new flagship DSLR, I bet Sony will continue to fuck customers over with yet another camera release. Canon will be just Canon I believe.
>>2724868
fuck off. Jared taught me the basics (iso, f-stop, shutterspeed). He knows his shit. The actual afro is douchey I'll admit but once you get passed it, dude is not that bad. That eric kim guy is a true faggot though. The worst might be Matt Graynjeh and his hips.

i mean yeah he is useful sometimes, his website can be a good source of technical information on some cameras but hes really a piece of shit, he writes a quick review on his website about a random camera and then lives off of donations, his knowledge on photography is less than anyone else ive ever met, its like he googled stuff about photography and then decided to start writing "reviews" and asking for donations so that he could make quick money
also compared to pretty much every other good reviewer on the internet who all know that what they say is based on their opinion, he thinks that his word is truth and that his opinions are facts
wouldnt be surprised if hes a trump supporter

jared polin is actually pretty good, he knows his shit and is somewhat entertaining if you could get past how annoying he can be

Jason Lanier makes me feel embarrassed to shoot Sony. I shoot with an A6000 for its size and I actually like the EVF because I can have the Histogram in the corner. Plus I love Vintage glass.

yeah hes kinda a joke, i mean sure the sony's are great but i think he is sexually attracted to them
>>2732208
Is he the guy who wears the fedora? I think there were a few threads about him after he made a video talking about ditching all his gear and picking up Sony.
