Was lucky enough to visit Machu Picchu a month or so ago as part of a short trip to Peru. Some pics below.

Hi Spode,
I particularly like your composition in #1...classic! Is the b&w direct from the camera?

[Spode]

The b&w is not straight from the camera as I shoot RAW. But I only enhanced the shadow detail and highlight definition a little in LR. Glad you liked it.

 

[cervelo]

B+w are terrific. What are you using to get such great contrast?

 

[Kaver]

Great series

 

[Spode]

Thanks. Yes, there are very few compacts that do B&W like the GR.

I like most #3 although (or because? ) there is no sign of any civilization.

You are one lucky duck getting to go there.
This place should be on my bucket list.
Wonderful images but sometimes we should go ourselves.

 

[Spode]

Thanks. It was a lucky opportunity and I am grateful I could go.
