Other than a few extremely rude tourists we had a great time in Mexico.
When we were at the ruins it was 94 deg F. The night we got home it was 0 deg F and before we went to bed -10 deg F. I hate winter most of the time.
I just about always shoot everything in RAW. This time I used JPEG for everything. I won't do that again.
Flek 35/2.4 the first three I hand held a cpl filter because of the intense sun. Not sure I should have since I don't use one often and don't always get it right.

Thanks guys.
I agree the last one is best by far. The first three were the worst of the day. I worked on them a little so I posted them first. That way it can only get better. I know, just opposite of what everyone else does.

I say that every time I don’t shoot RAW.
It looks a very interesting place a photographers dream.

I'm using the canon 40D.
I prefer Raw because of what is possible with the image if it isn't quite what I expected. If you get everything right on the first try JPEg is fine. I would rather make the decisions than let the camera make compromises for me.

It is a interesting place. Trouble is, I thought their might be 50-75 maybe 100 people there, instead their were several hundred. I hate big crowds.

I know what you mean about rude tourists - some of them shouldn't be allowed out.

I would say it had to be. They are the only shots I used it for and the only ones like that. It is a very expensive cpl. I never had this experience with it before. Maybe it doesn't like the flek.
The worst way to get pictures is to go on a tour. Unfortunately thats what my wife wanted. Tour buses coming and going steady, wall to wall people.

It would have been a lot more fun and easier if their hadn't been several hundred people there.

We planned this for almost a year. You can't imagine how disappointed I was when it was completely packed with people. Also I met a few of the rudest most ignorant tourists I ever met in my life. The Mexican people were fine.

Pretty sad, this is huge disappointment I was one times in Croatia at a very nice family size beach. When we would go out we always found only incredible crowded places so I gave up to go there again even if close to us.

I know what you mean Attila.
I would love to be at this 2000 year old place with only a few people, but I know now its impossible. I have seen it and really liked the place, but I will never go back. My whole reason for going there was to get pictures but it was almost impossible with all the people. They told me they have had as many as 9000 people in one day visiting the ruins.
I took the flek 35/2.4 that I got from you, the yashica ml 50/1.7 and only one a/f lense so I could show them at MFlenses. I still have a bunch to go through. Trouble is that both the yashica and the flek say 50/1.8 in the EXIF and I can't remember which pictures are from which lense.

Yes, not easy to remember. Generally I shoot one with cap on as separator between lenses. I remember for order and if I have separator easy to select pictures to different folders.
