Fred Miranda forum shares Angry Photographer's garbage, questions me

September 28, 2020



I don't do it often, but I occasionally check some of the traffic that comes to my blog. So today I noticed that I'm getting some traffic from a Fred Miranda forum post, where someone linked to my popular post The Downfall Of The Angry Photographer. My blog post was linked as a response to a video by the Angry Photographer that was shared there by a forum member. The video of course is bashing Nikon, and talking doom and gloom, his usual shtick. He did the same thing on the Nikon Z5 camera where he lied about some specs, said the Z glass was "junky" and got called out by his own followers. I mean, unless you are brain dead, it should not take you more than watching one or two of his videos to realize the he has severe issues and should not be taken seriously. Apparently some people on Fred Miranda think he's some kind of expert and connected to Nikon (he is not!). One guy named Takira71A even started to question me. This is one of the most ridiculous things I've read about me in a while.


First of all, those were my current monthly visitors, not all time visitors (I changed that now to all time on my sidebar). Secondly, my blog has 4.5 million all time visits. This is an overview of all the countries that my visitors and readers come from and how much traffic I get from each country (provided by Blogger's stats page).


Secondly, who I am is irrelevant to the fact that The Angry Photographer is a fraud. He's a conspiracy nut that has repeatedly called Einstein "an idiot". For some reason he is obsessed with Fuji cameras, but is completely unable to produce a portfolio of images. There are several videos on Youtube exposing his lies and antics, I haven't even gone in-depth about all the crazy stuff he has said and done, because I don't want to watch his garbage. He's not an authority on anything. He's a guy talking nonsense to a camera every day and begging for donations.

  1. Fred Miranda is a terrible forum. Not much better than DP Review.

  2. I really don't understand all the bullshit in the online camera world. Is it the same in other tech forums? Brand loyalty is fucking stupid. Use what you like. Take photos. If you can't take a good picture with any camera produced in the last 5-6 years, the camera isn't the problem.

    Which brings us to Ken. Ken is the worst of the bunch. He's a liar and a fraud and a bully, and his "science" videos are a fucking joke. The mustard on his shit sandwich is that he somehow can't manage to take a good picture despite spending tens of thousands of dollars on gear.

    1. My exact thoughts in a nutshell. The online photography world in general is basically 99% "get good quick" schemes and people clickbaiting with overused topics like "MIRRORLESS or DSLR in 2020!!??" Or "MISTAKES to AVOID IN LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY" are probably the ones that annoy me the most.

  3. One guy on the forum: "This guy is nuts. Please avoid posting this dreck here."

    There is still hope for humanity.
