(a lucky shot in Rome, last weekend… does anybody recognize the place? I can’t remember…)

Migration successful

No, I’m not talking about blog themes, wordpress versions or software in general. The migration I’m talking about, happened a couple of weeks ago, is a migration from my Olympus e500 kit (Zuiko 14-45, Zuiko 40-150) to a Nikon D80 + Nikkor 18-200.
