Breathtaking World Photography: Painting with Light

People have written to me asking what I mean by my definition of being an "Amateur/Professional Photographer". What type of photographs does an Amateur/Professional produce? This is a sampling of my work. I invite everyone to leave their feedback; it will be appreciated.

Update: January 2009: I have been required to delete the audio for this video.

No offence you reckon your photography is 'breathtaking' but it seems in half of your photographs you have just picked up a camera and took a picture of what's there in front of you. Didn't you even bother to think of composition? because these seem kinda boring no offence :L.

@sorawr123 Have you checked out the photographs that I have taken since then?

0:32, that's not the Beau Rivage Biloxi, is it?

[MChelada]

@nhomewarrior Nope, the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

i think you got mixed up between light painting and capturing light. your photos are capturing light and not necessarily painting with light. it's a different meaning altogether. IMO, you still have got some way to go but keep shooting and you'll get there..

Thanks. This is an older portfolio though. I have done a lot since then; feel free to check it out.

This has nothing to do with light painting. Please chenge the name of it. Besisdes those are just normal everyday photos. Nothing reaaly incredible or good at all.

[MChelada]

I have added more since then.

That is not what painting with light means; as a photographer you should know this, and if you are a photographer and write with such emboldened speech, then by all means DO SO!

for your information!!!!! I CAN DO BETTER!!!!!! but honestly, where the light painting in this tell me. cuz it just looks like its glowing, but not all the pics even look like they're glowing!
