The First Digital Year
2005 was the first year I used a digital camera as my primary camera. Now I have to find some way to make my Nikon F-100 fell a little less neglected.

All the photographs below are taken during 2005 using my Nikon D-70 digital camera. Most of the photographs are taken using a 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor. Some photographs are taken using the new 17-55mm f/2.8 G AF-S DX Nikkor. I fired up my camera on every foreign trip I had during 2005 except my trips to the Abu Dhabi (March), Dubai (March), Orlando (September), and London (November)

  • Views of the gardens at the Versailles Castle (Chateau de Versailles), Versailles, France (July 30, 2005.) The gardens are truly beautiful. However, I still feel that Keukenhof [in the Netherlands] is the most beautiful garden in the world.



     
  • In a small boat, all by myself, with not a sound in the world except the water and the birds, in the calm of the canals at Versailles (France), where once the kings found peace in this strange distance from the world, and a view of the Versailles Castle (Chateau de Versailles.)
