Dave, I'm very impressed by your work. Your portfolio is breathtaking. The studio work, the lightning photographs leave me awestruck and the skewed perspective pieces some of the best photography I have ever seen. Best Wishes, Paul...

simply the best collection of pics i have seen on this entire sight, please continue to amaze us!!

P.s. try more of your hand at taking pics of models!!

i had a look at your pictures.. and they are great..i really mean that

go on like this and dont mind if the newest smoke-shot fits in the folder..

for me it does :)

keep it up bye

ps..i would vote all your shots if i had the time :)

Really good portfolio. For me the sky shots in "Skewed Perspectives" are amazing and your smoke shots are really good. I like the white background versions. More up-to-date looking that way, I think.

All I can Say is HOLY SMOKE !

Amazing

Wow! Dave, it looks like you and I have something in common - were both handsome devils! ;-) Your portfolio is really quite incredible. Love the work you do with your lightining strikes and your computer manipulation is top notch. Thank you for sharing such a diverse and colorful collection with us!

I love Your smoke pictures, Lovely work. Keep douing something like this....:-)

Indeed Dave...you really have a wonderful collection of marvelous photos in your Portfolio. It is one of the best I ever visited in Photo.net. Congratulation and keep up the good work ( hope to see more in the future). THanks for sharing.

the beauty of smoke and water is that each shot captured creates a totally different unique picture, congratulations, i would happily hang the smoke shots on my wall, i find in here now, that alot of the work submitted has been done to death, and part of creating a picture is imagination, you have succeeded with flying colours, best wishes Luke!

You have a varied portfolio, and it was only because of your recent smoke shot that I got to see the rest.. WOW.. I love the skewed perspective shots.. How are these achieved. Looks like you are also lucky / unlucky with regards to the weather... ;) Keep up the good work.

Excellent porfolio, you have shown a wide range in skill - very diverse. Thankyou for taking the time to view and compliment me on my photography. Your photographs are fantastic, and I appreciate your comment especially the fact that it came from a professional photographer - even if you are part time.

Well done, your images are smoking! hehe (pun)

GREAT WORK!

Your Lightning Portfolio and Smoke as "ART" is very cool. Great work.

I love youre Smoke Art!

Smoke art is neat...but how much more are you going to lay on us? Enuf already!!!

I really like your smoke art. But it probably does not take much skill to do it. You should focus some more on other areas as well and maybe do the smoke stuff in you spare time. It holds interest while I look at it but is forgotten quickly... much like the smoke that you capture.

collection!

A magical smoke world art and fascinate Job. Fantastic point of view and looking for different abstract pictures. Best regards.

creativity and 'beautifulness' at its best

bravo!!!!

great images!!! please keep sharing!!

Dave, I love your portfolio, I see you are expert on smoke in all patterns and colours. But your images of natural beauty of the southwest of the USA are amazing as well. Thank you jana

congratulations for this amazing portfolio, particularly your smoke pictures are fantastic. best regards, dieter

I would like to wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a Good New Year! And say thank you for your support with your ratings and comments on my work over the last year. We are hoping to post some good weather photos this year. We start shooting sky photos in April thanks again for supporting my work.

For both putting up your art work (which is stellar!). I love the conceptual work. I cant wait to try it myself, since you were kind enough to post instructions on how photograph smoke...creatively.

ALL WORK IS CREATVE.I LIKE YOUR PORTFOLIO.

Dave! Thank you for the nice comment on my portfolio:) It makes me smile:) I can admit that your shots with smoke and thunder is amazing! Really delight for eyes! Best regards!:)

Hi Dave,

My name is Nan, I am originally from Butuan City, but presently living here in New Mexico, U.S.A. I saw your works and and it impressed me a lot, and I was surprised that you have pictures taken from New Mexico too. Me too I'm a photo fanatic, I won't go out without my digital camera with me. I have taken a lot of pictures here at Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, New Mexico. I'm sure you would love to see them. (Ghost Ranch is the favorite setting of Western Movies). Keep up your nice work. Have a nice day.

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

Great collection. Amazing.... I like Skewed Perspectives, Computer Art and all creative photos.

Dave, I've had a look at your work today, and I have to say, yours is the place to go to learn more about abstracts and creativity with photography. You have made works of art out of regular images. Great work.

Thank you very much for your very kind remarks on my portfolio. It is humbly appreciated. You have a terrific family and beautiful images. Will be back to see what is new. Best regards,

Just critiqued your 'down the drain' photo and thought i'd take a look at your portfolio. Wow -- you've got a grand vision! Thank you,

Your work and vision on smoke shapes is simply perfection.Real workart! Congrats for that! On the other side, the other galleries are amazing too . Great colours and compositions and use of light.

Very , Very nice shots... I love the lightning and smoke photos.. How do you produce the colors for the smoke shots? I want to be able to do some coloring like that for another project that I will be working on.. Congrats again on your work.

Amazing Portfolio Dave. I like the smoke stuff a lot and the "scars on trees" series is highly imaginative and unique. Your lightning shots are fantastic too. Actually pretty much everything you shoot looks great.
