clayzeye's photostream
|


I work hard, play hard and spend my free time exploring personal interests: Cathy, family, photography, culinary arts, billiards, making sauces, BOKEH , and my girl, Cathy!
Over the past 4 years I've begun to develop a style of Digital floral photography that suits me. Its about vivid color and light....Its about creating backgrounds in my images that are not even there, until the proper DOF and light conditions come together. Its experimental in its nature, and that's what turns me on about it. Only when I get to process the image do I know for sure whether it was captured the way I saw it in my mind. And when it works I want to share it with my amazing flickr friends.

Parvin ♣( OFF for a while ) says:
"Clay’s stream is one of my favorites on Flickr. He is a talented artist with a truly enjoyable photostream. Each of his flowers is a masterpiece by itself. The colors are always rich and dreamy, wide spreading in each and every corner for inviting your eyes and spirit to the Mother Nature’s ceremony. It is a pure joy to get a journey through his stream. On this journey your heart is filled with charm and beauty of nature in the highest form.
His use of light and color is outstanding. Clay is a master of bokeh and DoF. I learn something every time I visit his macro shots.
He is talented, kind and a wonderful flickr friend and his stream is an immediate go-to, anytime I’m here.
Appreciate and keep the good work, my friend."14th December, 2009

"I have been wanting to write this to acknowledge Clay's gifts for some time now. I first came across his work when he was experimenting with a newly acquired vintage lens. I followed this journey and was taken as much by his endless and growing enthusiasm, as his gorgeous results. I was simply caught in his adventure. I just love what he can coax from that lens.
His love of orchids shows through in a stellar way. He concentrates as much on his backgrounds as the subject at hand. I have learned from this. I so admire his ease at experimenting and showing the evolution to absolute perfection.
Clay has been supportive and generous in his comments of my photography journey. It means alot to have somone like Clay be such a cheerleader.
Look through his stream and be amazed. You will be carried on a wonderful journey along with his enthusiasm and talent."11th November, 2009

"Even before I see the screen name, I recognize Clay's work--gorgeous light, brilliant color, dreamy softness and inspired composition. Looking at one of his photos tonight, I thought, "I want to live in that world," the world Clay creates with his camera. Okay, so I can't live there all the time, but I can surely appreciate the visits. Thanks, Clay."
