    El Castillo (also known as the Temple of Kukulcan)

    Last week SWMBO and I went on holiday. One of our stops was at the Mayan Ruins at Chichen Itza, Mexico. The kit I took on this trip was the following:

    A Lowepro Slingshot Edge 150 AW bag, A Mefoto Roadtrip Air Tripod, EOS M5 w/the EF-M 18 to 55, & EF-M 55-200, 270EX Flash, and Extra Batteries. The Kit was light and compact that allowed the bag to either be placed in the overhead of the plane and buses we were on, and very easy to carry as we hiked around in various places.

    Here are three views of El Castillo taken with the M5 w/EF-M 18-55mm. I must say that the camera preformed very well in various light conditions.

    Stunning Tom and the little M5 has made the best of it.

    The Mayans were an incredible civilisation that foretold many calamities that have since come to pass ............. no mention of Trump though!

      Thanks for Stopping By Colin. Had Trump been elected in 2012, they would have been correct. Maybe they were a bit off in their calculations

          Excellent work Tom; just goes to show that we don't always need the biggest & most expensive kit in the marketplace if you know what you're doing... #2 for me... how on earth did you avoid all the tourists???

              Very good indeed with mono clearly the best choice for processing

              What a good camera the M5 is

              Cheers,

                    Thanks John and Stan.

                    Ian, I use Elements 15 and found that Snapheal is much better that the what they have in Elements
