So glad I found your channel! I really enjoy your stories and photographs. It also took a minute for _Cape Light_ to click with me -- I didn't spend much time on the Cape, but I grew up on the North Shore so saw that kind of "small beach town" aesthetic more through the lens of Manchester & Gloucester & Rockport. Also really enjoyed your Robert Frank video, can't wait to see more videos in that vein.
Thanks for the really good videos. I recently bought a Yashica Mat (basic model?). Do you use a light meter or do you judge your settings on experience? I am a bit unsure what f-stop and shutter speed to use. I have been carrying an additional camera with me to use the internal light meter, but that's a bit of a nuisance.
Love mine but I am not using it as much as I probably should. Will let it go very soon .This camera is extremely capable. If there's anything I wouldn't probably really like about it is that images look so clean and sharp they sometimes look a little "like digital" specially if you use a super fine grain film like Acros but of course you can try different emulsions and go for a grittier film look if that's what you want. It's an amazing film EDC.
Thanks for the video. I just recently bought a C220 with the 65 and 105. I really like the camera and I was surprised to see the result from a couple of test rolls I took a couple of days ago.
This is my favourite and one of the only photography accounts I follow. can anyone recommend any accounts like Robbie's? Particularly one's that aren't full of adverts every 5 seconds with creators that only seem to be copying whatever the latest trends are rather than doing there own thing..
@@RobbieMaynardCreates Thank you. Hadn't heard of Logan Baker. 2 quick observations. I'm concerned from an entirely selfish perspective that you are creating too many videos and will burn out so bear this in mind as I'm planning on watching these for the next few years or more. (No pressure.) the other one - if you get fed up with the photography, you could get a job creating soundtracks for films. I'm sort of thinking John Carpenter type stuff based on recent videos :)
I’m thinking of buying one that’s not working the seller says he can’t turn it on. I’m curious to see if it’s better to tweek around it. Save me couple bucks. It’s for 25 plus shipping
If its just cleaning the battery terminals then yes but if its anything else, dont even bother. Electronic Point and Shoots just die sometimes and its impossible to fix without the exact right components
Bro they know you’re locked in that’s why they’re not answering their phones after a hard days work the quarry workers are not going to wait for you I’ve learnt this the hard way too. Try to be respectful of locking up or closing times when out photographing projects this is a valuable lesson to heed.
Again Robbie you did it again, wonderful you made the ugly make sense and added some beauty to it. I don’t know if we have some kind of parallel life but I told you I live in a village in Northern Spain and shoot 5x4, well my neighbour is a quarry exactly like the one you’ve photographed but I’ve never seen the beauty in it until now the holding pond and Vultures that frequently fly in and out of the quarry are all present and less than 100m from my house. I know I can’t produce anything like what you’re producing because my thoughts on this quarry are very negative and this would come through in my work, your photos on the other hand are stunning. I’m so excited about this I forgot to listen to the film stock you were using. It looks like Ultramax but I Guess it’s Kodak Gold 200.
The best content provider out there Robbie I’ve missed your last three videos due to being busy with my medium and large format photography. But I’m all up to date now and super super impressed with your level of artistry. Great inspiration for the community especially here in Northern Spain.
Reminds of a British Landscape photographer I had the good fortune of speaking to about the zone system in her work Fay Godwin please check out her work.
ok, wow. I rolled my eyes when you said you were going out and taking inspiration from mr adams, but your photos were exceptional. that is a very difficult [for lack of a better terms] genre and shooting like adams and his years of shooting social landscapes. your video setups alone made for some very strong compostions. Ima fan. one of the best videos i've seen. Hope those are posted elsewhere. looking for you on Insta.
I love Tmax 100 for outdoor photography. Were you pleased with how your shots came out? That park is such a great location. I loved that truck but the place seems very photogenic. I even liked the bridge and the rock wall that followed it. Thank you for sharing your photo outing with us. It was very enjoyable to watch and spend time with you while you took these shots.
Square format efficiently uses lens image circle. Hence, it has advantages when cropped. The Mamiya C series are big, but they are very good shooters when handheld. I use a couple of Rolleis to cover this range. So, for a dual focal length sortie, I think they’re tied. Mamiya have certainly been innovative over the modern film decades.
@@RobbieMaynardCreates I don’t know what just happened, but that was single-handedly one of the best videos on RU-vid I have ever witnessed. If RU-vid Oscars existed that would definitely win hands down. And the photos taken are exactly where us analogue photographers are trying to go. Wow I feel completely honoured the panoramic Ultamax shot was a personal favourite as that’s what I’m shooting at the moment even though it’s expensive. Top content from a top photographer pushing the boundaries for the community.
Always great content on your channel Robbie, I really appreciate it, as well as your good work in the production of your videos. A greeting from Spain.
@@RobbieMaynardCreates I have a weather resistant digital camera..I still won't do half the crazy things you do with those old film cameras!..hats off!..and Happy 4th of July!
I never got Robert Adams until a few years ago, when I finally convinced myself that less is more and you can put across your point of view quite effectively without shouting. I guess in a way that is what film does. I find his photography thought provoking and soothing at the same time. Another photographer who challenged my ideas about landscape photography was the fellow Brit, the late Raymond Moore.
@@RobbieMaynardCreates The other photographer who left a lasting impression on me over 4 decades ago was Faye Godwin. Her later work where she clearly explored the effect of human activity on nature and its consequences are my favourites.
Wow! Wonderful images, incredible storm. Loved the music for the storm, very ominous and atmospheric. You got an absolute bargain picking that copy of the book up!
Amazing story telling and soundtrack Robbie, Bravo! Truly inspirational on many fronts, so much so I have gone out and bought a couple of bucket hats as well 🙂
Yeah that's all they are videos about photography not actual photography is it you need space a wall a some lux this does not do them any justice its ego more than anything no actual instructions is there its just look at me. Robert Adams is a white as it gets in photography there are is only one Robert that's Frank he European like me 😂😂😂😂
@@RobbieMaynardCreates i didn’t see all of the images (I only saw 10 or so) and it didn’t quite grab me, I didn’t feel anything special looking at them and couldn’t pull any meaning from them either, but I like how you put these few in a context and talked about them. I’m still not a huge fan, but I’m a lot more open to the name and the book now than I was before watching it, if I find a cheap used copy in the stuffed book shop of my choosing I may buy it
@@RobbieMaynardCreates I have very few channels that I always watch and yours is one of them. We similar interests in cameras models. I use the 45-degree Kiev 88 prism on my C220 tho, and the GW680iii is my preferred Fujica. When/if you get the itch for an SLR again, Hartblei still sells new Kiev 60s & 88s 😁
Hi, Robbie. Great video, man. Adams is indeed a great photographer and the book you show in the video shows just how good he was. The second part of your video is spectacular, we don't have these types of clouds here in the Netherlands. I understand that you want to record that. Impressive and the photos are also very good. This was a sunset, my friend. And you have had your cooling down and are no longer bothered by flying. Antoine
Robert Adams is one of a kind, both in terms of his approach to his American and life experience and in his unwavering attentiveness to quiet things on the verge of destruction. And you celebrated this book with that same level of attentiveness. Well done Robbie.
Love my C220. It’s not a new one like yours and so it needs some tlc. Thinking of sending it off to get its back seal replaced. Might also have a pinhole in the bellows, not sure. But it was really fun set up for me to play with for many years.
Interesting point about the drops on the lens. Completely shifts the viewer's focus from a transparent POV immediately towards and inward to the taker. A completely different dynamic between documentary and self portraiture.
