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.
@m0bob3 күн бұрын
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.
@justcallmesando4 күн бұрын
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.

@@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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.
