Well, i'm back, and managed to take 2000 pics over about 4-5 days, under some quite difficult circumstances, lots of rain, dust and coach windows with reflections!
I've uploaded them to facebook for now but am planning to put them on a website like flickr, just not sure which one yet, the photos on facebook are very compressed and tiny though, so want to be able to host bigger ones, but theres a lot of them.
Anyway, camera was fantastic, took the 17-55 f2.8 IS, the 10-22 and the 70-200 f4 L and mostly used the 17-55, but used the 10-22 for most of the machu picchu photos which got me some interesting angles.
Camera is very fast to focus and the 17-55 is great in low light conditions, flash hasn't been fired yet, most pics were taken on aperture priority but some of the pics from the coach window had to be on shutter priority so as to get a decent speed.
Anyway, enough of the waffle, here are the pics and as always, i welcome criticism whether it be negative or positive, I think the pics are really good though, was very pleased when going through them when i got back. The Machu Picchu ones were the hardest ones to get right as there was a lot of dust flying around on the first time up there and then it was raining and misty the second time.

I appreciate there are a lot of photos, but there is a lot of variety so I hope you enjoy them.
