It had been more than a while since I picked up the camera.
It was indeed a challenge to me to learn everything from the beginning.
Do not set any expectation here since they are travel snapshots from a rusty hand.
3 years later, we revisited Hokkaido in a self-guided tour professionally planned and executed by Eddie and his wife Sandy. Here is a big thanks and salute to both of them.

Of course we had a great time - July 19 to 26th, 2007

Equipment that I brought - Panasonic Lumix FX9, Nikkor AF-S 17-55mm F/2.8 G and AF-S VR 70-200mm F/2.8 G mounted on D2X. Ocassionally AF-D 60mm F/2.8 Micro, Nikkor AF 14mm F/2.8 D and AF 10.5mm F/2.8 Fish Eye were used.
