I shared a roll with 3 other people, this is my favourite of mine. I’d never used film or a tripod before. I’ve never been a fan of 6x6 square Hasselblad format though, used 6x7 Mamiya after.</p> <p>What are your favourite cameras and why?</p>http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/51141192446http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/51141192446Thu, 23 May 2013 12:02:00 +0100artists on tumblrBlack and Whitephotographers on tumblroriginal photographerslensblr<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0a32e3eeb96a27d51b6c02bdc1f39155/tumblr_mmxvh2nzym1rufhqqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Family photo of artist with sister inside tree from the past overlayed with photo of location now.</p> <p>Thoughts?</p>http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/51083447046http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/51083447046Wed, 22 May 2013 19:30:40 +0100naturelandscapephotographers on tumblrartists on tumblrart<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/53522d7719125474d32d2f9649e12dff/tumblr_mmxzcbFrNQ1rufhqqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A simple shot of a simple sight from my pylon obsession phase. </p> <p>I don’t think shooting head on like this really works as well as shooting at angles.</p> <p>I tend to shoot very square and head on, make things flat since photography is a 2D medium pretending to be a 3D medium whilst actually being more 2.5D. Perhaps I should experiment with shooting in different ways and from different angles to be more interesting? </p>http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/51061827084http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/51061827084Wed, 22 May 2013 11:39:24 +0100artists on tumblrphotographers on tumblrnaturelandscapeart<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9d17c4ffc7ae527e020b6adbac95e922/tumblr_mmxyh3yr4V1rufhqqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>From a series looking at landscapes through water in a bottle, a lens if you will. </p> <p><a href="http://www.blurb.co.uk/b/2443598-water-colour-landscapes"><a href="http://www.blurb.co.uk/b/2443598-water-colour-landscapes">http://www.blurb.co.uk/b/2443598-water-colour-landscapes</a></a></p> <p>Thoughts?</p>http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/51061732909http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/51061732909Wed, 22 May 2013 11:36:16 +0100photographers on tumblrnaturelandscapeartists on tumblrart<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8b85cb13814b3575c14f7ad9a5a36958/tumblr_mmxz67niTR1rufhqqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Beginnings-</p> <p>Another shot from before I knew about f-stops, film, developing, thinking about what I photo, composition, focus, etc etc. I just used a point and shoot compact camera and shot stuff, quite interesting to look back at what photographed, what has remained the same and what has changed.</p> <p><span>Have I really improved with my photography now by being better technically and more “well considered” or is the naivete of when I was shooting like this with no intentions or particular skill better, more honest?</span></p>http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/50982952492http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/50982952492Tue, 21 May 2013 12:25:41 +0100artists on tumblrphotographers on tumblrblack and whitenaturedecay<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c33a7149351a4699449cd7848259a4e6/tumblr_mmxw6tLRe01rufhqqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>From my most fun to make series.

This seemingly simple and boring landscape actually shows all I want to say about it. Water has had its path carefully guided by man for farm animals etc, The fence has been buckled and damaged by the water, nature. The crops in the top corner, organised by man. The tree being grown, protected by wood. The telegraph pole, communication. A seemingly very nature centred photo, is actually completely constructed by man. And yet it is completely nature.</p> <p>Maybe we should stop looking at things as being nature or man made, is man not part of nature?</p>http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/50654545113http://jrobsonphotography.com/post/50654545113Fri, 17 May 2013 16:01:09 +0100artists on tumblrphotographers on tumblrnaturelandscapeart<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4c0c41c8550e4c9cecb48b4c7015d61b/tumblr_mmxwg6j3RB1rufhqqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>From my most fun to make series.
