  "Darren (lightgazer) is one of my earlier contacts. He was the one that really helped me on my first night HDRs with his great tips. He has a very eclectic photostream with stunning HDRs. I love his great sense of dramatic composition and top notch post-processing. Warm Regards,
  Daniel"

  "Lightgazers photostream is such a feast for my senses...his work is absolutely gorgeous and completely takes me breath away. I know he's known for his HDR's and very well he should be...but check you his flower HDR's...he truly takes macro photography to a new level...and I'm proud to be one of his many fans and flattered to have him as one of my contacts:)"

  "I am lining up on the testimonial queue of this brilliant star!
  What I love about this man is that he has a photographic sens out of this world. The ones I admire the most is his "split second street photography", the emotions, the framing, the faces he captures are always spot on. I am amazed, and will always will be with the continuities quality on his stream. Take a look and be as I am amazed! Thanks for sharing mate!"

  "When you look at one of Lightgazer's images, there is no doubt who produced it. He has a style all his own and it's brilliant and descriptive and engaging....a treasuretrove of work here and so much fun to browse his photostream. A master of technique and story-telling, he is one of flickr's best."

  " LG has roots in the classic photo but a steel grip on the present image and technology of digital photography. An eye for visual impact and the uncanny talent to manipulate color and light to create unparalleled renderings. Intelligent HDR work, flawless, meticulous, a true craftsman in his art. And he makes it all seem easy.
  Dude, your work is all about the wow factor. Nothing less.
  
  Your friend,

  "Lightgazer's photography is amazing. I know that he's a photojournalist by trade but his photography goes much further than that. He has a great eye and I'm often amazed at how he's able to turn shots of driftwood and water or a trio of chickens into works of art. His use of HDR is top-notch, especially on his architectural shots. As a great flickr friend, he drops by now and then to leave an encouraging comment. Thanks for sharing such wonderful work!"

  "This Lightgazer is special, which you will see if you check out his photostream. He has a varied talent - he can do stock shots, art, macro, B&W, straight-up, majorly processed on the computer - he can do it all. Treat yourself to a visual smorgasbord - and he's getting better the more he does - his stuff is addictive."

  "Lightgazer's images are one-of-a-kind... created by a skilled hand and a creative eye. His eye-catching stream is never boring and every day brings something different. He is a true inspiration, and a great contact. I'm sure he'd be a great friend if I ever had the chance to meet him in person :)"

  "lightgazer is code for 'good times'!.....not only is he a leading sports and events photographer for a major newspaper but he is also a creative artist in his own right. Just check out his work..go right through it and you'll be amazed by the skill and the diversity of his imagery. He has a keen eye for composition and lighting and is equally at home taking pictures of pop stars...ice hockey action...night time shots and life observation. His work in HDR is evolving all the time and in the short time he's been my buddy on flickr I've been glued to his photostream. I've only been aware of flickr for a couple of months and one of my deciding factors to buy an account and stay was being captivated by lightgazers work and I look forward to seeing more of it.....loads more please...in fact with his publishing contacts I think he could produce a lovely book and I would buy one (signed though please!)."

  "What can I say that,s funny or amusing? This man is a pure pro and generous with his knowledge and sense of playfulness. His photos are great in print, and his on screen experiments make this a unique and interesting photo-stream. I look forward to seeing the new photos when they come out, and now look for his name in the paper when i browse through it."
