Hi there, new to this forum so thought I'd share a bit of a mix of my photography work, I do a lot of shots which pull many images together in one picture using photoshop, giving me loads of control over much of the image,

got a load more photography and video work on my website at www.andrewbrooksphotography.com

here's some shots, let me know what you think...

VERY nice work! That first one is a jaw dropper for me. Such a creative imagination! And the technical skills to back it up.

I see nothing wrong with any of these. Except that your last, traditional shot pales in comparison to the others here. Along those lines, when presenting these in the future you might consider grouping them together by subject. That way your wonderful digital work is not competing against your more traditional work for the viewer's attention.

Also, if you're looking for critique of any one shot, I would give it its own post. Otherwise you'll tend to get reviews of the whole lot and very little individual attention.

Good job!

Andrew,

Wonderful to see more faces on the board and definitely someone with such photograph skill as you. Love the first one, great job there. All the shots are strong! Can't wait to see more of your work,

Stunning. I really love the first one and can't imagine how to get there! But the second is my favorite. Knocked me over. Looking forward to learning lots from you.

andrew...
incredible. Those really are stunning shots. I don't like the third as much as the other three, but those three blow me away. WHat setup are you using?

Wow!!! I love all of these... The first one just makes quite a statement IMO, the wide angle? in that second one is just beautiful, same with the third. And even though the last is more traditional, I love the boat and the green colors all together. Lovely

Welcome. You overwhelm us a little showing four very nice images at once. The first reminds me of Magritte, the second of Thomas Hart Benton.

Show us more and please offer some critiques as well. You probably have much to offer some of the folks here and may find it gratifying to help.

Stunning Andrew!!!!I just love the depth of these ultrawide angle images..What I like the most about them is that my eyes wander around these images and pick up more and more detail..This is contrary to composition rules but it works so well with these images..

Well done and post more..

Cheers for the feedback folks, most of the big landscape shots are created from many pictures comped together by hand using photoshop, I use a fairly standard wide lens, then by doing many shots create the images with so much stuff going on, I'll attatch another one to this message, but it's made of upwards of 200 shots, so I can control everything(Images shape, exposures, colours) and because there is so much detaile there I can then do lots of warping and changing the comporsition with out the image being to messed up, I like to think of it as kind of painting with images if that makes any sense. got tons more stuff like this and I also use digi SLR's to create music videos, check them out on my website at www.andrewbrooksphotography.com



oh and this and the sunset shot are all part of a big project where I intend to have many landscapes flowing into out and other...
