ltus is one of the superb photographers I meet in Flickr :) He's not only a great artist, he's also a very good flickr friend. I admire his works from the start I join Flickr.. and I still think I am very blessed to stumble to his amazing stream & be able to admire them. I'm inspired a lot by his works and learn from his HDR images. As others said already about how talented he is, he will amaze you with his marvelous works. Always. All the best for you & Chizuko & the kids, Altus.-Tata(July'09)

Although I already liked photography, it is people like /\ltus (not only him though, there are lots of talented people on Flickr) who inspired me to buy a SLR and really get into it. Needless to say, I also learned the existence of HDR and what results you could get with this technique! I'm going to Japan in September… Read more

Although I already liked photography, it is people like /\ltus (not only him though, there are lots of talented people on Flickr) who inspired me to buy a SLR and really get into it. Needless to say, I also learned the existence of HDR and what results you could get with this technique! I'm going to Japan in September for nine months with only a backpack, two friends and my camera, so I will obviously try to take some awesome HDR pictures too :P If I can take pictures that are half as good as /\ltus, I'll be very happy :)

Always a pleasure to visit with Altus. Your photos captivate the viewer. Some of your photos border on the abstract with intense color and intuaitive understanding of compostion. I always wait in anticipation of the next photo. What great image will be cast upon the internet ? Thanks for sharing your wonderful photog… Read more

Altus photos has always been an inspiration. His shots always make my day! In fact, it was while browsing his photos that I got hooked on HDR! ( Thanks mate for this new "Addiction"! ) Altus has always been able to turn the simplest of all shot into a Great Masterpiece! His keen eye for details and great sense of composition is reflected in all his shots. Thanks Mate for sharing your brilliant shots and please DO NOT stop! Cheers

The fact that /\ltus is one of the best artists on flickr comes as no surprise.

The fact that /\ltus is one of the best artists on flickr comes as no surprise. When he takes his flawless use of HDR, and applies it to a subject so interesting and beautiful as the country of Japan, and peppers it with his lovely family as subjects, he achieves one masterpiece after another. Browse through his photostream and you will see a travelogue painted with a brush, by an artist with a real zest for living.

Hmm... how to begin this. I should have a written speech for this. One fine day, me and colleagues were looking the pictures in flickr, while enjoying it suddenly sent me an url of /\ltus one of the HDR rendered shots, it completes and inspires me at the most upfront. From then on, I started looking info about HDR by google it, take me a few days to understand the concept and playing around the HDR. /\ltus's work piece definitely always my bookmarking the most. And thanks to him i finally found a big interest on the HDR. Indeed he is always a nice guy who willing to help. Thanks to you /\ltus, keep up the impressive work and i shall be there to view, enjoy your great masterpiece.

First thing I thought was "What took me so long?". When I was much younger, it was a real thrill to wait for the mailman to arrive. The unknown expectations of getting something great was impossible to define. I feel the same way now whenever I see this guy's recent upload. It is an ode to the 21st century watching … Read more

The unknown expectations of getting something great was impossible to define. I feel the same way now whenever I see this guy's recent upload. It is an ode to the 21st century watching his vision flourish. One of the best on Flickr. Period.

Altus is in a league of P.S. technical expertise that one like myself can only "hope" to aspire to understand someday, lol. He has put a lot of time and energy into this craft and it REALLY shows in his pictures. I learn a great deal of general overview from his images and picture descriptions of HDR processing.

Altus is in a league of P.S. technical expertise that one like myself can only "hope" to aspire to understand someday, lol. He has put a lot of time and energy into this craft and it REALLY shows in his pictures. I learn a great deal of general overview from his images and picture descriptions of HDR processing. I also feel that, he has, in my view, shown great character as a real person over the months I've known him thru flickr. I truly hope he plans to flickr with us for many moons to come, :))

Anyone that happens upon this photostream can count themselves Lucky. Very Lucky, actually. But keep in mind as You spend more time than You realized looking through his Brilliant Camera Eye, it will be difficult to write a Testimonial for someone at this level. People will have beat You on the compliments of his skill. Family Moments, Nature, Urban, HDR and so many more points of view that You will be glad to have had an opportunity to experience and Lucky that he shared.

altus is an amazing photographer and one of my favorites on flickr. his work is constantly fresh and inspiring. i am constantly thinking, "now, how the heck did he take that picture," or "wow what an angle," or "gee, what a composition" when i go through his photostream. he is able to enhance the ordinary which i guess what we all strive in our own work. more than anyone else, altus' work makes me want to visit japan. last but not least, his hdr images kick everyone's butts... and make me want to explore this someday. dude, you rock.

I found /\ltus' page by searching the tags for "Japan" about 6 months ago and every chance of free time I have to go on Flickr, I always check out /\ltus' pictures.

I found /\ltus' page by searching the tags for "Japan" about 6 months ago and every chance of free time I have to go on Flickr, I always check out /\ltus' pictures. He has a really nice eye for things and seems to have a great personality that allows him to share his pictures with others. I am a newly serious photographer and /\ltus' pictures always inspire me 'cause they are so full of personality. Good luck to /\ltus!

This guy is greatness. He helps bring reality to photos with his HDR greatness. He is one of the few people in life that can take a scene, lock it in his mind, then use his tools to recreate that vision in the final photo. /\ltus has the kind of pictures that makes the old-school traditional photographers sit up a… Read more

This guy is greatness. He helps bring reality to photos with his HDR greatness. He is one of the few people in life that can take a scene, lock it in his mind, then use his tools to recreate that vision in the final photo. /\ltus has the kind of pictures that makes the old-school traditional photographers sit up and worry. Seeing what he has accomplished makes me want to be a better photographer. Plus, he loves the greatness of Austin so much that his offspring bears the name for my fine city overseas. He's representing the 512.

Altus has been like a brother to me all my life...especially since we share the same mother. He never struck me as a photographer growing up but after him introducing me to flickr and seeing the photos he has posted, I believe that he has found his true calling (behind of course: surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, k… Read more

Altus has been like a brother to me all my life...especially since we share the same mother. He never struck me as a photographer growing up but after him introducing me to flickr and seeing the photos he has posted, I believe that he has found his true calling (behind of course: surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, kitesurfing, etc...). Because of his influence, I too have just invested in a HDR capable camera and am going to try my hand at it and post as well.

Altus is definitely one of the finest flickr guys. He was very instrumental in my introduction to the wonderful world of HDR. His HDR-rendered photos just made me speechless and charmed so many times and forced me to learn this post-processing. He is great indeed but I know he is better than his images.

Altus is definitely one of the finest flickr guys. He was very instrumental in my introduction to the wonderful world of HDR. His HDR-rendered photos just made me speechless and charmed so many times and forced me to learn this post-processing. He is great indeed but I know he is better than his images. The man is sincere and very generous. I'm lucky to meet Altus and be his friend. Never miss his photostream. You'll be delighted to view his creations.
