Ended up using up 7gb in the end! First time Ive properly used RAW images, and while theyre brilliant for tweaking, its tedious when you have so many to go through.
Goes without saying, had an awesome time out there, no pictures of the Beijing/China part of the trip, far too much smog and everything is covered in scafolding for the olympics. Still need to sort out the few pictures I have from Nepal/Kathmandu.
So in chronological order..
The Barkhor circuit in Lhasa

Very annoyingly I noticed when I got back that theres a couple of dust specs on the sensor which has meant Ive had to clean/edit all the shots I want to keep.
Most pics taken with my new Canon 10-22mm F/3.5-4.5 ultra wide angle which is a lot of fun to play with, can defintely recommend it. Couple of the closer shots taken with 50mm F/1.8 MKII. Panoramic taken using my 75-300mm on a tripod.
Got yourself some nice pictures there, the panorama is particularly good by the looks of that.
Hope you bought yourself some goodies too :ptu:
makes me want to go.. but also makes me think Ill be a tad bored.
some really sweet shots there, nicely done!
Looks like the 10-22 is working out well for you, Im thinking about getting myself the Sigma 10-20 soonish so these are quite interesting for me.
Absolutely love the pano shot, just gorgeous.
Gutting about the sunglasses shot. Should have focused on the image, rather than the glasses :) Would have been ace otherwise.
Love the panorama, and also love the jump around one and the road to everest.
Sunglasses shot is unfortunately just a crop and not a resize. Only really noticed the temple in the glass when I got back home (screen on the camera is tiny).
Great pictures !!!
I like them, full of colour and love the panoramic!
