Finally, I get some time to do an update here!

It's been a busy little while for me - working and then hospital for the past two weeks.

Have shot a couple of events - the Bay to Birdwood and the 90th Anniversay of the Battle of Birsaba.

There's an update of some picture of the Battle of Birsaba, but unfortunatley due to copyright, I cannot show the shots of the Bay to Birdwood.

What else? Heading of around the world for 9 weeks, with the Missus - hitting up Brazil, Germany and the surrounds and finally spending a week in Singapore for our 3 year anniversary - can't wait. Expect to see a lot of photos from the trip updated either as we go or in one marathon upadate when I get back.

I had a rather large Journal update planned in my head, but I've just lost all my thoughts that I was going to update with, which really sucks.

Ciao,
OA

Oh am I a happy boy!

I just managed to snap up a Nikon D2x, extra battery and a full version of Nikon Capture 4 for AU$4,750.

The D2x is a bloody nice camera (should be for the money) the two shots Sunset Wheatand Arms Wide Open are the first shots to grace dA from the new camera.

*Most of you AP fellas must be sick of this... lol

Who are we?

AJ Photography (ajphotoart.deviantart.com) is a collaborative effort between Oliver Andrews and Matthew Jeffery - two young photographers aiming to make a name in the industry. matthew leans towards the experimental side of photography - lens reversal, technical modifications, and others, whereas, Oliver leans towards the more classic side of photography, including portraits, landscapes, and more recently infrared photography. Oliver's private gallery can be viewed here: [link] and Matthew's here: [link]

The aim of this gallery is to showcase our works for the general public and prospective clients. It will be updated once a week with a selection of five images from each photographer from that week.

In other words, a mate and I have decided to get our names out there in the photographic industry. check out a professional gallery here: [link]

Just made the plunge into the world of dSLRs. Must say I can't be happier with my Nikon kit.

Things that were purchased:

-Nikon D70s w/ 18-70mm Kit Lens.
-Nikkor 70-300mm F4.5-F5.6 G
-Nikon SB800 Speedlight

It has been a learning curve as it is quite a step up from my Lumix FZ30, but hey it was well worth it.

Keep an eye out for photos in the coming days as I have some more time to play with it, but in the mean time enjoy: The Twig, Eerie, and Street Fountain the first images taken with the new camera.

What can I say, I'm an excited boy lol.

It is well worth the click if you are into more arty photography... Very cool. Something for me too aspire to.
