F-Stop Fun

This Week In Film……

June 3, 2013 by fstopfun

Downtown Baltimore has been a great place to walk around and shoot photos this last week. The new pre-summer season is in full swing so tourists and walkers are taking to the street stretching their legs. As for me, I try to get out every chance I get! I never know when a cool photo opp will present itself. : ) I also photographed a friend’s wedding and took some Hipstamatic shots in between my shooting with my professional camera.

clouds at night

May 25, 2013 by fstopfun

I was on vacation a few weeks ago in the Shenandoah mountains. it was a little on the damp and cool side but I had a fun time none the less. All week I wanted to take night shots, maybe a few star trails. Night after night was heavy could cover. One night I decided to just shoot and see what developed. Usually I have my eye buried in the lens, focused on the shot or just watching my watch waiting to […]

My camera has been on vacation : )

November 27, 2012 by fstopfun

I think being an artist is sometimes all or nothing. When I design graphics I always feel as if I am solving a problem. Finding a new way to publish a message or invoke a new feeling about something. I wish I could do that with my fine art like paintings, photography or poetry. Lately I think I need an adventure to revive my passion for photography. What do you do when you need to recharge your passion for fine art?

How long is 4 seconds?

September 26, 2012 by fstopfun

This summer I photographed more people then I typically do. I got used to telling people to meet me around 6:30. A few days ago I told my friend just that, so when we met I was shocked that in fall the days start getting shorter. Opps! So my shoot didn’t go well but I wanted to at least get a few pictures. I loathed the idea of coming back with nothing. It was well past sunset into the twilight time of […]

Artists are free to become stale and ineffective.

September 26, 2012 by fstopfun

I learned photography in high-school continued in college and then I graduated and of course I knew everything…. (or so I thought). A few years later I found my skills stagnant, my photographs were boring, and my desire to photograph was fleeting. I would see other artists works and be blown away! I remember attending a few different art openings of friends I graduated with and having the realization that I was obsolete, my friends have passed me by because they pushed themselves to continue […]

Digital camera lens buying guide

September 20, 2012 by fstopfun

Digital camera lens buying guide By Andy Westlake What lens should I buy for my digital camera? Once you’ve bought a new interchangeable lens camera – either a digital SLR or one of the new breed of interchangeable lens compacts typified by Micro Four Thirds – you’ll inevitably start thinking of adding an extra lens or two to your arsenal. This is the first step to realizing the flexibility of a system camera, but with the bewildering variety of […]

The Smoke of Anxiety

September 19, 2012 by fstopfun

Here is a bit of personal information. I suffer from anxiety : ( Panic attacks suck! i took these images last night but looking at them they really remind me of how when you are having an anxiety attack your joy seems drift away like in a puff of smoke. *on a side note one bible verse that helps me is 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love […]
