Imagesbyoliver: Happy Birthday !!

: Images by Oliver Blog :

Hello and welcome to my photo-blog.

I want to first say thank you for taking the time to check me out.

I started this blog to fill a gap in the way I show my photography to family, friends and potential clients. I have a few other sites were I display my work, however none are geared toward me documenting my thoughts on photography and sharing the things I experience on a daily basis. I shoot all types of photography. Sometimes I think I am addicted. I have countless numbers of pictures saved on my hard drive that would otherwise go unseen. I have so much to share and will take on the task of getting the highlights of my photographic career here on this blog.

I don't have time to maintain several different blogs for all the aspects of my photography so you will see a mixture of photos posted to this blog. It will be business mixed with a bit of personal. There is so much I want to get out and I don't want to hinder myself too much with organization (must be the artist in me). You can rest assured it will all be about my love for photography.

Feel free to leave comments on the photos you like. I would like input to keep this thing interactive. I would also like to share tips with photographers to give insight on how I continue to perfect my craft (it is a constant learning process).

That is all for now. Check back regularly for updates...

Happy Birthday !!

Every year for the past few years my Grandmother and cousin have been getting together with the family to celebrate their birthdays. Their birthdays are both very close in January. It has always been nice to use this time for all the family to get together and celebrate.

This year we found ourselves at the Claim Jumper restaurant in Roseville. The food at this place is pretty decent and the portions are ginormous.

This was another one of those low light situations so out comes the fast lens along with ISO 3200 and a whole lot of color adjustment throughout the night.
