I've been taking pictures as a hobby since 2007. Here are some I picked randomly.

This one was a compilation of 30 shots taken at f/1.4 at 85mm

This is one of my prize shots shooting my sister's performance (She's in the background) This lady was showing it to some waiter who asked her to stop dancing on the stage.

Gelati in Rome

The Coloseum

Sky shot

Eclipse

Not at all, I can see the creepiness of it. They were taken and uploaded with the consent of the photos' subject. If they make you feel uncomfortable and you want me to remove them, let me know.

Oh I don't mind, I'm not easily offended at all. If they know what was happening it means you're not a creep, you just like to appear so

It's a 'panorama' or 30 shots. This technique was made famous by Ryan Brenizer (do a search on him). Basically we take 30 shots then combine the using photoshop creating other worldly bokeh.

Here's on shot from the above pic


This one is 10 images (Amazing bokeh)


And this one is a panorama of 66 images at 50mm f/1.4

interesting technique but your images are suffering for it - they are obviously overexposed and the ultra-shallow depth of field is resulting in points of interest (such as faces) that are out of focus. it's an unwieldy technique that can achieve things otherwise impossible but probably best left for when you're in the studio.
