Sorry, I can't listen to these guys blathering. They'd take 45 minutes to tell you what time it is.

My newer cameras, LUMIX GH3 and SONY a6000, produce great pics in "ia+" mode!
I hate to admit it, but my a6000 does a great job on that setting. "idiot mode"

To each his own. We all have are own way of doing things. This is the easy way out. Good for novices I suspect but not for me.

Been a wedding photographer for 40 years. When digital happened I experimented & found that shooting in P + Dynamic exposure (Nikon) + spot metering (I expose for the bride's gown) works 99% of the time. For the other 1% shooting Jpeg+Raw allows fixes when necessary. I think I've used raw three times while shooting 200, 000 + images. Just sayin'.

Bob, there's no need to flount your superiority at the expense of someone who does things differently from you. In the end it's the image that counts and I doubt you are able to distinguish whether or not a photograph was taken manually or not.

My professional secret is a flashmeter, a color meter, and a spot meter, and knowing how to use them.
Your first three are easy, it only takes money. Your fourth one could take a lifetime. I bet lots of new photographers don't even know what the first three are!

Flaunt my superiority? What the h--- are you talking about? What in what I stated reflects on my superiority? And what did I say about distinguishing whether or not a photo was taken manually or not. I just stated we all have our own way of doing things. This apples to everything in life. I really think you owe me an apology.

I'm sorry, but you inferred that he was a novice, when he has stated his was a professional opinion. That's not nice.

Fro drives me insane - I can't watch his podcast for more than a few minutes.
That said, I'm not a huge Rockwell fan either. As long as you understand and read his description of his site and it's content, you can take it for what it's worth.
Shoot in whatever mode you want - whatever you can get the best results with, and brings you the most enjoyment.
I usually shoot in Aperture priority, but I have no problem flipping over to P if I'm just trying to get a shot of my toddlers running around.

That was not my intent at all. I know very well who Ken Rockwell is and I was just saying what he is doing is a good way for a novice to start. Am I understood now?

I agree that he presents some excellent instruction for beginners. The main problems are that he is inflexible and that he is downright misleading at times. For example, he ignores shutter and aperture modes in the quotation that started this thread. He has a one-track mind, and I personally think he gets derailed on occasion.
