In 2005 I took my then new Nikon D70s on a holiday to Agadir in Marocco. During a day trip to Marrakesh I shot some images with the new camera.
At that time a DSLR was new to me, I had little knowledge of it and RAW was still in my future so I shot in Jpeg.
Recently I re-discovered some images from that trip and did some minor postprocessing in Capture One.
I find these images quite film like, the color rendering from the D70s CCD-sensor esp. of red and green seems different from later (CMOS-sensor) cameras.

These look really appealing to me.
The tone reminds me of something like Technicolor. Thank you for sharing!

The pink and redish colours certainly remind me of the Marrakesh colours as I remember them.
I recall that my wife and I had lunch in the outside upstairs area in the restaurant in the top right corner of the first image - memory lane stuff for me too! Thanks Luc.

Luc, very good stuff. I kept one of my D200s' (first DSLR) for a long time just for shooting base ISO with that sensor. I took it to Mexico for 3 months in 2007 and shot only jpeg because I did not take a laptop and really had zero PP experience coming from film. Halfway through my Mexico trip I took a short trip to Houston and , by pure chance, picked up first shipments of the D300 (just sold) . I was in Morocco in mid-70's (for US Navy) with my Nikkormat but halfway driving to Marrakesh the police turned me back due to some trouble up ahead. Never made it back >:( .
Thanks for posting

Yes, lovely drawing and colours. And indeed reminds me of the D200. I like the files of the Fuji S5 Pro even better.

Very nice, interesting colours too, the 18-70mm i suppose. I still have my first nikon digital camera the d50 it still works too at least a few months ago when i last tried.

Beautiful light and colours indeed, Hugh. Sadly, that restaurant/cafe suffered a bombing in 2011 killing 17 people ...

A quite similar CCD sensor experience, Tom! I was quite reluctant to upgrade my D70s because I wanted to wring the best out of it before upgrading to a D700.

Thanks, John. Ah Fuji, nothing beats Fuji at colour science.

Thanks, Fons. The 18-70mm it is, the only lens I had at the time. The D50 was really good!

Really interesting colour!
I will try it, I still have my d70 with 18-70 :)

Yes, we were there only a month or two after the bombing. IIRC the restaurant that was bombed was to the top left in your first image. I still remember it being cordoned off and notices on what was left of the building. A terrible business in what was an otherwise liberal country.
