IMAGES FROM MAN.'s photostream
|
Hello my name is Ray Collister and I live on the amazing Isle of Man, which is photography heaven, its only 33 miles by 13....but it is so varied here, so you don't have to travel far. The Isle of Man is slap bang in the middle of the Irish sea, between England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
I love digital photography, and I really enjoy being artistic with it as well, by shooting HDR or balancing the image with Photoshop. I am fortunate enough to be able to sell my images mainly on canvas to people on the Isle of Man and beyond.
The BBC, the Isle of Man Government and various other organisations have all used some of my images to their benefit.
I appreciate you dropping by and hope to catch you again in the mighty cyber world of flickr.
Ray

""Ray is one of the most talented photographers I have had the pleasure of meeting her on Flickr.
His stunning HDR landscape photography is sure to captivate and never disappoints. In a sea of often overdone/cooked or bland HDR photos, Ray's works are a beacon of beauty and light that stand miles above the rest.
I encourage you to sit down and take some time looking through the work of this outstanding photographer and artist, you will not be disappointed.""16th December, 2010

"Ray is definitely up there with some of the best photographers I know of. He really makes me proud to be Manx and when I receive compliments on my photography from him, well, it makes my day to know that someone of his standard appreciates my work. His HDR work is simply magnificent and his photos of the already beautiful Isle of Man are simply outstanding. If I can ever achieve a fraction of Ray's photographic skill then I know I'd have something. Don't ever stop photographing, Ray!"

"Ray is, among other photographic wonders, a master of clouds who works beautifully in both color and monochrome! It never ceases to amaze me how much depth and beauty he is able to fit into his individual pieces of art. I am particularly drawn to his shots of lighthouses, bridges and piers, but his exquisite work also includes rolling hills, rumbling cars, racing motorcycles, and resplendent reflections. Based on his work alone, I have added the Isle of Man to my list of must places to visit someday!
I am not one who is typically drawn to HDR work, but when Ray decides to use it he has the perfect touch-- and his application of it to his monochrome work is especially effective.
And, of equal importance, Ray is a generous and supportive soul. Thanks for all of your generosity to me and to others and for running such great flickr groups (especially ***Mono**Sepia)! It is always a pleasure to see your new work and I look forward to viewing much more!
Cheers, Nathan"18th August, 2009

"Ray is an excellent photographer.
He is a visual artist who capture a little grain in the mudd and turns it into pure beauty.
Nature, engines, boats and those lovely sea and water images are magical.
He is like the flag..wherever you throw it it will stand...cause I think that whatever he wants to do ..he does it with big devotion , respect and love.
George is the coolest dog on Flickr nicely captured by Images from Man.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful art and being such an inspiration for me.
I wish you all the best in your way!
