My first “real” camera was a Nikon D80 I bought in 2007 for my last semester of college, which I spent abroad. APS-C, 10MP sensor, 3 fps, one kit lens. I had no idea what I was doing, but I still enjoy the photos I took with it.

Two people sit on a stone ledge overlooking a calm bay with numerous sailboats anchored in the water. Firth of Forth, Scotland. A sunlit, narrow European street flanked by tall, historic buildings features a descending staircase leading to an intersection. A sunlit street in a city, bordered by residential buildings, descends downhill with trees and distant urban skyline in the background. A bustling public square features people relaxing near a large fountain, with a historic building in the background under a blue sky with clouds.
