Michael Haydon Photography

Michael,

You have some finely composed and exposed images here. Whilst I find that 18 months and thousands of exposures are only just bringing me towards a photographic understanding, I would say that you have reached a good level of appreciation about what you are doing (maybe not, but the images here do at least suggest as much).

Peter

Thank you for your well though out critique Michael. I apreciate it. You have some fine work here. I especially like "Gather Round." Very well done.

Cheers, George

Yeah great portfolio :-)

I know that there are many top flight photographers who post on Photo.net. But having just opened your folder and viewed the thumbnail images, it appears you have a very keen ability to compose a shot. I make no claims of greatness; but in the last 20+ years, I hve given more than casual attention to thousands of pictures and in the beginning read several good how-to books. One of the FIRST things nearly all will teach regarding composition is the Rule of Thirds. Not all settings provide for that rule; but where you could, you employed it. Otherwise, you have managed to do great compositions on the other shots. I hope you don't think I'm "blowing smoke," as they say. I am very impressed with how you frame a shot.

Wonderful portfolio Michael with beautiful colors. My favorite photos of yours are the half black/white & half colored ones. I'll be back soon to look at your photographs again. Thanks for sharing! Best regards

You have a great portfolio, I can see a good eye for compositions with a personnal look. Keep it up! And ... Say "Hello!" from me to your zombie! : )

I like it a lot. A pleasure to watch.

You've got a way with finding the most beautiful, and sometimes the most strange skies I've ever seen. I love your subjects and the way you see them. This is a very solid portfolio and I will be checking back soon!

Excellent portfolio!!

What a stunning collection of images, you have made the most simplist of images into works of art. Tell me how you have got the dramatic skies, I've got a lot to learn from these images.

Kind regards

I do come often to your Northumberland folder (mainly) for inspiration.

Amazing portopholio

Nice folio! I especially like the treatment of your landscapes.

The moment I clicked on your portfolio and saw it open i knew I was going to like it. Brilliant. I'll be back for more. You have been to the same places as me and your pics have blown me away. That's what I love about this site - different people go to the same place and their photos are totally different. Respect Martin

I stopped here for a moment but I know that will spend long hours exploring your very nice portfolio! Your landscapes have specific atmosphere and style, they are technically perfect with great contrast and sharpness. I hope that will find enough time to critique your beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing. Regards

Beautiful portfolio. I will gladly return!

A very interesting portfolio. Some of the photos are great.

"Lost without Light" folder is my favorite... great portfolio Michael Haydon..regards

We are hoping to post some good weather photos this year. We start shooting sky photos in April thanks again for supporting my work.

Thanks for sharing such amazing work ! A true inspiration for the rest of us -Keep it up. Rob

Please, can You contact with me on mail macgar@vp.pl thx

Nice gallery. You certainly know what you're doing with a camera, and with software. I'm very impressed with your 'a little spooky' and 'nature' folders. You have an excellent eye for manipulating color, texture and softness. Great work! (Happy Birthday to you too! There's a free concert in New Brunswick if you're in the area!)

That moments captured in the landscapes are the kind of fractions of time and space that I really like.

Nice portfolio.

Very nice portfolio and the other tree is from Richmond Park as well, regards

I realized going through your portfolio that I could have stopped and commented on every one of your images - all of them beautiful and of fine quality! My great respect for your wonderful work!

Amazing gallery!!!!!!

Congratulations for your beautiful portfolio and many thanks for the nice comment on my picture. Ciao

Hello Friend!

Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.

I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Ken

Michael! Your works touch my heart so much! Thank you!

Extenso y variado portfolio con una coleccion de fotos en la quee se aprecia claramente el bien saber hacer de un buen fotografo.Extensive and varied portfolio with a collection of pictures in the quee is appreciated the clearly well to know how to make of a good photographer. Greetings Michael Saludos Michael

In fact,for me this work is at the limit between great to unreal. There is a marvelous sense of naturalism yet it touches on the surreal. I love it. It is obvious, I venture to say, you do A LOT of post production work. Of course your subjects and compositions are all expert and keen eyed. I must learn how to process images but have yet to shoot RAW. I certain you do.

I look forward to more great art.

Truly Amazing Portfolio, Michael.

Regards, Roger.

What can I say that hasn't been said? Well... nowt really. Your work is truly inspiring and an absolute joy to view. Thank you indeed.

I have marked you as "interesting", because I love your style. Your work inspires me to work harder, so I can learn to create such fascinating images. I enjoy studying this splendid portfolio.
