From 21 to 29 January 2006, Château-d’Oex accomodate the 28th edition of the International Ballons Fiesta. 80 ballons and 10 special shapes coming from 20 different country participated in this festival.

I went to the show on the last day, 29 Jan 2006, with my colleagues (all Nikon shooter ). The morning session was very dull, cloudy and no sunshine . But the the afternoon session was totally different. Clear sky with little white clouds and bright sunshine was came when we were ready to had our lunch .

Imaging Resource site has posted a First Look at Nikon D200. The full review is scheduled in a few weeks, but “from what they’ve seen so far it’s clear that the Nikon D200 is a truly exceptional digital SLR, the fourth “home run” in a row for Nikon, and arguably one of the best cameras they’ve ever built.”
