Whitby Photos – Church Cross

The old cross at Whitby in the foreground. There is a wooden fence in front of it and the church on the hill by the Abbey can be seen in the background.

Whitby Cross.

After last Monday’s Whitby post, I went through some very old photographs taken with my Nikon D200. Not exactly fine art but it’s a reminder of a great holiday. I find a few others from that trip and post them over the course of the next month.

Back to the Past – February 2006

It was 2006 and the world of photography was going digital. I was still shooting film with a Nikon FM2n and a Nikon F90X.

It was in 2000 with the release of windows 2000, I finally decided to quit windows and use Linux, back then it was Fedora. I used Redhat and Novell NetWare for my day job so it was familiar to me.

In 2005 I bought my wife a small 12 inch Mac Powerbook, and in January 2006, Adobe released a public beta of Lightroom v1, but only available for the Mac.

The modern foundation of none destructive editing had arrived. I bought a little Nikon S3 digital compact and started to test it out with Lightroom. It was on a holiday to North Yorkshire I was mainly shooting film but also taking quick shots like this one above. It was the start of my digital journey.
