Winter Flooding in Northampton Massachusetts

[@ledesclos5321]

Thank you Robbie. I enjoy your low key style and good images in your local area. The historians may be looking for your photos.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

I appreciate it! I hope they do!

[@paultaylorphotography9499]

mate absolutely love that shot of the car going through the flood water, bet the two folk were not impressed, but hey bad weather makes great photos. We get our fair share of dodgy weather events, but last February our region was hammered by Cyclone Gabrielle, as I work for the local newspaper I managed to get all over the place to document the storms effects (vids on my chan). I still look back on this work with a lump in my throat, our once gorgeous region smashed to buggery and back. The power of nature always gets my shutter finger twitching. Cracking video again Robbie, congrats on just about hitting 10k subs well deserved, and many more to come. Stay safe out there mate.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you buddy! Thanks for sharing that story!

As someone who lives in an urban area, I enjoy all your flood videos because they really show how powerful nature is. It's hard to believe that some people have to face such weather conditions several times a year. My heart goes to those affected by these floods.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

100%! Most of those folks are seasoned so they know exactly what to do

[@rpavl]

Definitely not thinking "oh, another flood video". Please make more of these, Robbie.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

I am glad you enjoy them!

Hi, Robbie. You are doing a heck of a job, my friend. Ik really like this content. Greetings from the Netherlands, Toine.

[@fairwayfrank]

Merry Christmas. Stay safe and dry. Pretty wild stuff this flooding. Back in my Mich. days I had a small, flat-bottomed Jon boat (my photo boat, I called it), with an electric motor. Could be just the thing for tooling around some of your areas. Another enjoyable video. Thanks for your time and effort.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thanks for sharing, Frank! I grew up with a jon boat like that. Never for photography but it holds a special place for me :)

[@shotbybliss]

That intro.. woah.. first video I’m seeing from you and what an impression! Great video and beautiful images! Wow wow wow.

[@shotbybliss]

And also hoping for you and those in the area’s safety through these crazy floods. This documentation matters.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you! Welcome to the club!

[@nguday2003]

Hey you made me miss New England. Thanks!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

You are most welcome! Lol

[@fishyfish2]

I don’t tend to comment on videos often (mainly because I use a KZbin app through my TV), but wanted to take the time to say how much I enjoy the work you put on here. It’s engaging, well made, and your photos inspire me to go out and make some of my own. Hope you’ve had a good Christmas and have a great 2024!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you for commenting! I appreciate it :)

[@ridovicsandras]

wow, great shots again!

[@mickcookson8009]

Another great video Robbie, thanks for the content.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@theblackmanarmedwithacamera]

YOU GOT GREAT SHOTS! GOOD FOR YOU FOR GOING OUT AND CAPTURING THOSE MOMENTS!! HERE IN CT, WE DIDN'T GET IT LIKE THAT! AT LEAST, NOT WHERE I'M AT IN CT!!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you! It was a real struggle but well worth it

[@aIixander]

Super happy you're going to reach 10k subs. Your videos are always so well made, and you're a far better photographer than most other film youtubers

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you for sticking around!

[@MrGoldBallz]

Bro absolutely loving the framing on your shots!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you, Ballz!

[@neeravnaik]

Love your spirit and attitude ! I am following another very interesting channel called post10 about someone in New England area who goes around unclogging drains due to floods and beaver dams so this felt like a crossover.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

haha thats awesome! I will have to give them a follow

[@andrewgifford7740]

Loving these, and quite happy wading through the flood theme with you - especially nice to hear the natural sounds and water flowing through

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

I spent a few extra hours just capturing sounds for the video so I'm glad it didn't go unnoticed :)

[@ChrisToombes]

As someone born and bred in Northampton UK it’s fascinating to see your version and the impact of the recent storms. While I no longer live in the UK (now in Calgary Alberta) I have been to your Northampton on my travels to the US. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Thanks for sharing your stories.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Well traveled! If you're ever in the area again, don't shy away from hitting me up on Instagram!

[@ThBigHoov]

Loved this one. I'll never get tired of the flood videos, that desire to document is definitely a good one, and that photo at 5:20 is really special. Instant portfolio shot imo

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you so much! It was one of those shots that, as soon as I got home, I had to develop right away.

[@shawnhollbach395]

Another wonderful video

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you!

[@DRGBTL23]

Great video as always, Rob. Happy holidays!!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Happy Holidaze!

[@acmdv]

Harsh light is perfect for Black & White photography.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

I do love contrast!

[@not-a-lot-2004]

great video robbie, one of your best

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you!

[@TimothymakeupsDitzler]

Merry Christmas Robbie!!!!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Merry Christmas my friend!

[@BillNewsinger]

Amazing colours with the portra. The landscapes here in the midlands UK are very similar. Really love your videos and your photography Robbie. Look forward to more in 2024.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you so much, Bill! Cheers to the new year!

[@Folly_Inds]

It might be fun to try and work with black and white even if you think the colors are good enough to justify using the color film. It forces you to think more about shapes and contrast then color gradients. I found it does tend to struggle a bit in the fall and the bright leaves give you so much to work with. But with the New England winters and their scraggly trees its easier. It's also way easier to self-develop & scan black and white film which is a nice plus

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

I totally agree - sometimes its nice to challenge ourselves. I have been working out there for a few years now and most of the work is in color and I was thinking if I wanted to put these into a book, it would be best to keep it all color.

[@Folly_Inds]

@@RobbieMaynardCreates consistently does make sense if your working for a book. I'll be waiting to hear more about it some day!

[@nicolasdatiche5646]

congrats for "10k incoming" !!!

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Wooo! Finally!

[@nicolasdatiche5646]

@@RobbieMaynardCreates it’s well deserve, your video are really good !

[@ziorxkomtuper]

Loved the images! Did you hand print some of these images? The prints looked fantastic. I always love seeing somebody go the extra mile and print

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

I felt compelled to! It took some doing but when you're stoked on an image, you have to print it

[@ziorxkomtuper]

@@RobbieMaynardCreates cool! maybe you can think about showing some of the darkroom work? I think it would make a nice video. Today I saw some flooded areas and I could not stop thinking about your video and photographing them

[@stevexray6253]

I'd say you made a good decision to switch to color. 😁👍

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

I agree!

[@wielandt88]

That framing at 0:16 is money.

[@RobbieMaynardCreates]

Thank you!

[@hmuz8388]

5:20 👌
