Post by: Andrew Brooks on December 08, 2006, 01:07:48 pm
Hey, I posted a few shots on this forum a while back,  I've had a busy summer of working on lots of landscapes which bring many shots together to create really intense images,  I have quite a few more on my website at www.andrewbrooksphotography.com

also if anyone would like a screensaver of my photography work then go to this page on my site

Thanks for sharing these Andrew.

The first one definitely steals the show for me. If you'd allow me a quick advice, I would slightly darken the right side of the hull in the middle section as well as the characters in the back.

Cheers,
Bernard

Pretty unique stuff.  The first one looks more like a painting than a photograph.  Nice work !

To me, all three of them have a very "painterly" feel to them, which I like.
Nice work!

I agree that a little darkening on the ship would make it match the light a bit more--it is going to look fantastic anyways, but a little more realism woul help me keep in the image. That said: wow! I sent this link to a friend, who immediately messaged me back, saying that your images had really caught his attention--the only one of a dozen links that day that elicited much response at all. I especially like the last one.

Thanks for the feedback and advice,  I see what you mean about the hull of the ship.  might have a play with that before I get it printed next.  Seems with these shots people don't know if there paintings of photo's or whatever, I think that confusions quite intesting.

Anyways thanks for the encoragement...

Hi,

The first image is just great, my favourite by far. As already mentioned though it looks more like a painting than a photograph.

Had a look though your website too, some very interesting images - you certainly know photoshop. Some are a bit overdone for me, but thats just my own personal taste - they're interesting just the same, certainly "catch the eye".

Just a quick comment on your website, the "pictures" thumbnails on the gallery page are very small & a little bit frustrating, it might deter a few people from having a good look through
