A month in Peru

[aeonnemesis]

Hey guys, spent last November in Peru and have only just finished going over my photos.. any feedback would be most welcome. The planning for this trip was really what got me into photography in the first place and i'd really like to make a big print out of at least one of these.. i'm thinking the first.. but i'm new to this and not sure how it would come out

2. a shot of a traditional peruvian kitchen.. there's a little noise in this one due to the poor lighting and high ISO but i think it works

nice... did you hike to machu pichu?

First and last are my favs. Love the blue in the last!

I love your kaiman shot! Love how he's lit. Really liking shot #6 as well. My eye is wishing that the village/city was more centered in your pano however I'm not sure I'd want to lose the gorge on the left of the photo. Was there anything worthwile on the right if you had added a 5th shot? The other thing I like to do with my panos like this is to have a close up pano, in this example maybe a 2 shot pano of the village.
I'm sure it would make great wall art as is though!

Every one of those shots is excellent, and any one of them would look good on your wall. But #1 is very nice indeed and should make a terrific print.

The shot of the kaiman is gold !

Thanks for the kind words guys.

with #1 it was next to impossible get both sides of Machipicchu in the shot.. to the immediate right was just some seating etc for tourists, so no real interest. I have another pano from the other side but unfortunately i stuffed up the exposures and they look odd when stiched together.. although i do have the more common shot of machupicchu from the guard tower

PS: we did hike the inca trail, fortunately the weather was fantastic the whole way.. EXCEPT the morning we hiked up to the sungate to see machupicchu.. arguably the most important point in the hike.. which was about when it started to rain and we couldn't see more than a few meters in front of us.. totally blocking out Machu Picchu! :'(

Nice range of shots. I like the first but I would crop out the left part if you want to make it a print, about where the sky become bright, as there's not much interesting on that side.

Excellent exposure and detail on the right part though.

You're not alone, we set off about 6am to try to catch the sun rise over Machu Picchu and get there before the day trippers, but when we get there it was covered in mist and it didn't appear till about 11am!
