Erroba's photostream
|
I'm a professional C# programmer from Mechelen, Belgium, I was born in july 1967 in Antwerp. I studied mathematics and system analysis (IT).
As a second job I started my own business in october 2007 as an artist (mdf carvings, oilpainting, logos, etc) , just check out my
website to get an idea www.erroba.be
I bought my first digital camera just before my honeymoon, june 2007. I still have a lot of learning to do, but I think that's great : it's not the destination that counts, but the road to get there !
I am open to criticism if you're fair and honest, we all can learn from it after all.
If you like my photos or my other art work, I'm always open for business proposals.

Chimera • Photography says:
"There are two versions in every story and when i decided to talk about Erroba's creations i had to do just that same thing. One version was related to my admiration for his amazing photos that both inspire and motivate me. The second version was related to my gratitude towards his tutorials and shared information that not only help me improve but also gave me new ideas and increased my potential. You're a real artist and your works talk for themselves .. I salute you and i'll try to learn as much as possible from you while admiring your creations! Regards.."

"If you are looking for excellent examples of HDR then look no further, Erroba had an incredible talent. the images found here are inspiring. Erroba seems to be an explorer who captures the journey and delivers it to us in an artistic form. In my opinion this stream is one of the best on Flickr"

I am just Dawn Marie says:
"Not only are Erlend's photo's unbeatable in quality, he allows his guests to view at a larger portion. Most of the photo's I have seen on flickr, that are near this quality, all have omitted the ability to view at any other size than what is shown. It looks fantastic small. I think anyone's photo does. But it is when you can get up close and see the work... that is where you can tell if someone totally did a PS fake-out or if they really know what they are doing.
I completely appreciate that he shares his thoughts, vision, camera settings and parameters, etc. He is willing to say that he used PS for some dodge and burn or whatever. That is the highest quality. To be honest to share your work, share where you thought you went wrong, or what equipment sucked.
Thank you Erlend for all your generosity. I know that it has begun to help me and in time with lots of practice... maybe a trip or two to Paris... (ya right!?) I might compare my best photos with your worst!
Thank you!!! Dawn
P.S. Your photo's are utterly stunning!!!"24th November, 2008

"J'ai découvert Erroba à travers Explorer, en dehors de ses magnifiques photos, ce qui m'a surpris, c'est l'ensemble des informations sur la photo elle-même, pas seulement la technique, mais les circonstances de la photo, le prix de l'entrée si c'est un musée, le rapport avec les gardiens etc.. il y a donc un côté guide touristique, qui me plait bien..
J'espère qu'il est francophone ( sinon je lui traduirai en anglais..)"31st October, 2008

"Erlend has been a patient teacher and has turned into a friend. When I have any questions he has always been there quickly with an answer and a pointer to help on my photos.
What more can be said about his photos. Erlend's work is some of the best photography that I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. It is consistantly good and I feel that one of these days Erlend is going to hit the big time. Good luck Erlend and many thanks for everything I have learned so much from you."18th October, 2008

"Erlend is one of those people in this world who believes in knowledge sharing.
He has helped me transform my work from amature to professional quality.
Not only he's a good teacher, but at the same time a very strict one....
His straight forward attitude helps me a lot......
He has been my Teacher/guide in HDR photography...

"I'm proud to say I've taught Erlend everything he knows...now for some truth. Erlends art is at the very least exquisite and as far as I'm concerned some of the best I've seen (if not the best at times). You can really tell he pours his heart into his work and produces incredible results that I find both inspiring and mesmerizing. His artistry is always a pleasure to view and I often find myself going through his pieces simply because of its beauty and uniqueness - I highly recommend taking the time to view his entire photo stream. I'm so glad to have met Erlend on flickr, aside from his photos; he's genuinely an awesome guy with a fabulous personality and sense of humour whose friendliness is not only appreciated but treasured. I dig your mojo Erlend, werd up!"

"I guess its about time I write my fav flickr buddy & my humble teacher Mr Erlend Robaye a lovely testimonial :) I am very fortunate to get to know this wonderful & generous kind soul nearly a month ago in flickr & I have to say we hit it off right from the start (at least that's how i feel LOL!) .. almost like we've been friends all along. Erlend is someone who cracks me up a lot with his out of the world humor :P and of coz let's not mention that his works are totally out of this planet as well! He is my master of HDRs and still the best to me in my eyes! ( hope by now you've already dropped a few touchin' tears haha!)
Anyone can tell how passionate he is with art & photography from his well illustrated collections in his photostream.... such an unselfish personality that he actually takes his precious time to guide & coach me on the techniques of photoshop and many other stuffs. He gives constructive feedbacks and also tells me what i should do to correct that which is something i'm really grateful for!!
Love your talent my humble teacher and your high level of artistic touch! You are a GIFTED young man (very much like me LOL!!) Thank you for being my friend & teacher here! Hope to catch up with you & your family one of these days in Brussel or Australia! Xina!"3rd June, 2008
