[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I love the south of the US of A and people from there and visited Savannah in January 2006 by train with my 300mm 4.5 Nikkor. I wish my expertise with digital is what it is now but did get some great shots which I'm not able to pull some solid images out of. When our car broke down I thought the guy who came with the tow truck was going to invite us over to his house for dinner. My aunt and I. We don't quite get that in the North and certainly not NY.
