Beautiful pictures. I should definitely go there

We had limited time on our trip, so didn't get to see the coast or the plains. I would love to see those locations though; in fact I would love to go back to Peru again and again.

A privilege--Thank you for your thoughtfulness. i was wonderin--have you done plains and ocean beaches of Peru also by any chance?

You...really did bring out the true beauty of the home of a race that was killed by the greed of others...they didn't deserve to die...you have done an honorable thing by doing this...thank you for caring about something other than america's own pitiful "heritage" and showing us what is realy important...not so much the ruins...but what the ruins signify...please try to get more...

Great pics, really conveyed the magic.

GREAT composition! ANYone can take pictures of incredible places and everyone agrees they are great photos, but unique composition giving interesting perspective really takes the viewer there, or if it at least gives them a better tool to let there imagination take them there.
Excellent gallery.

Zane,

Your photographs of Machu Picchu are outstanding! I was there on December 25th, 2003. It´s a magical place, and your photographs are magical as well.

It´s great that you´re sharing these photographs and emotions with us.

You´re more than welcome to see my gallery at www.pbase.com/digitaljeff

I was in MacchuPicu almost 25 years ago and your photos are bringing back alive my souvenirs. It is as if I was brought back there.

Thanks for the ride!

What amazing photography! I have been reading a lot lately about the Incan ruins, in particulary Macchu Picchu and thought I'd go online to see if I couldn't find some photographs - words can only describe so much! Thanks for sharing these awe-inspiring photos & keep up the good work.

Excellent shots, and inspiring also. I can't wait to get to Peru.

Great stonework photos. Nice to see other views besides what Discovery Channel shows. their shots seem to come from the same file source.
Zane Paxton12-Mar-2002 08:08
To get decent images, you really need to use the video screen on the back of the camera; however, in the blinding equatorial sun, that was very challenging. I have a bunch of disapointing pictures that are out of focus for that reason. The S85's biggest deficiency is the focus issue, which is also slow to respond too.

This experience has charged me up about still photography again, but my next camera will be a 707 or newer digital SLR that has the video visable through the eyepiece.

good pictures, just like my Sony, Exposure are slightly under by 1 to 1.5 EV,
do you find focusing a problem?
