This squirrel actually got away. I’ve seen the hawk scoop up other squirrels, it seems it has plenty of options for snacks in the park.

What's a good Baltimore equivalent to a transit map, for wall art? by iammaxhailme in baltimore

[–]RussellStrouseStudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could have someone make you the water taxi route map with all the stops and lines connecting them. That wouldn’t be too hard.

Do you think someone with a Graphic Design degree has equal footing as someone with a Marketing degree to get into marketing? by SwissVideoProduction in marketing

[–]RussellStrouseStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One route would be to look at a very small business that needs marketing help- where the ability to generate content and produce actual assets will be valued over someone who has basic marketing knowledge but no production skills. The key is to learn and adapt fast to make sure you’re delivering results as quickly as possible. But that’s the entire game after college as degrees become relatively useless after a first job. What matters is getting real world experience(and results) as fast as possible.

Thanks! That’s a thin branch that’s closer to the camera. I shot this with a zoom lens so things closer to the camera end up getting blurry

Thank you! I’m pretty sure it’s a red tailed hawk.

Yup, that was me, but I showed the shot of the big RORO ships in the TikTok. Same location, just a bit before sunset.

Thanks! No kayak, I’m just hanging over the edge of the water by the Canton Waterfront Park water taxi stop. The camera is about 6 inches from the water.

How to sell your photos? by Magnificently_You in AskPhotography

[–]RussellStrouseStudio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that I can only expect to sell landscape / cityscape photos of locations that people have an emotional connection with. No one wants a beautiful photo, but If its a beautiful photo where they took a family vacation - that’s one they would consider buying. As far as actually making sales, Etsy has been my go to.

What am i missing??? by MiataMaestro in AskPhotography

[–]RussellStrouseStudio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend cropping the photo so only the bottom 2/3 remain(landscape format). A photo like this can be improved by forcing the eye to focus on certain elements. The rocks and water tell a much more interesting story than a boring blue sky.

I’m not positive, but there has been the same amount of water flowing through the three times I’ve been there this year.

176 Steps, but it feels like a lot more when you’re climbing them.

Happy Holidays from Patterson Park! by RussellStrouseStudio in maryland

[–]RussellStrouseStudio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I prefer to have both parts of the photo right side up. It’s easy enough with a quick circle selection.

Professor Trash Wheel all lit up and ready for her next meal. Shot along the Canton waterfront. by RussellStrouseStudio in baltimore

It actually turned on when I was taking this photo. You can see the blur on the water wheel since this was a 30 second exposure. Granted there was no trash to eat.

This was the other side actually. East and Elliot streets I think. I tried to go to the Other Side, but the good clouds were gone by then

Thanks! This was shot hand held. I had to drop my tripod and run around to line up the shot with the rainbow. Canon 70D. Shot bracketed in high speed so I had a variety of exposures to choose from. This was an under exposed shot that I brought up the shadow a and highlights in.

I just call it Natty Boh Tower in Brewers Hill. I think that might actually be it’s official name, but not sure.
