WELCOME TO
f/STOPS CAMERA CLUB!

Founded in 1982, f/Stops is the premier photography club in the San Fernando Valley. Our friendly members enjoy monthly critiques by professional photographers, group outings and various workshops and seminars. We welcome you to learn more about us and come to a meeting to see how you can share your passion with others!

MONTHLY MEETING
& CRITIQUE

The purpose of the critique is to LEARN. We learn about lighting, composition, exposure, subject selection and so much more. Your photograph is critiqued to provide you with information on what is great AND what needs some skill sharpening. Critiques are currently based on a number system of 4 - 10; 6 represents more of a snapshot; 10 is meant to be as close to perfection as we can get. Don't be discouraged if you don't get 10's. Again, that is the point of the critiques... so we can all learn how to improve our craft.

How to be Inspired
​Every Day

“Inspiration does not come like a bolt. Nor is it kinetic, energetic striving. It comes into us slowly and quietly all the time, though we must regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, prime it with a little solitude and idleness.” 
– Brenda Ueland

Whether you have been creating photographs for years or only for few weeks, finding inspiration is not always easy.​
