Those that follow me on IG likely know I was in Peru last month. The main purpose of the trip was to hike the Inca trail to Machu Picchu. I haven't even begun to edit images with the exception of this one. A 5-stitch pano at the end of the trail.

Not sure which version I prefer

Matt, wow both are nice! How many days did it took you to finish the Inca trail? Any photographic tips you can give? Interested to know what camera did you bring aside from the X100.
 
It's a total of 4 days 3 nights on the trail. Our 3rd night's campsite actually had a landslide from the rain so we made it to Machu Picchu in 3 days, stayed in Aguascaliente for a night, then took the bus back to MP where we hiked up to the top of Huayna Picchu the following morning. I actually preferred this as we were able to see MP twice.

As far as tips go, do whatever's comfortable for you, but travel light! One because gear weighs you down (especially at 14,000 feet), two because the trek itself is amazing and it's great to focus on what's in front of you, not what's in the viewfinder. I thought about bringing multiple bodies, lenses, etc, but I am glad I only brought the x100t and Instax printer (to share prints with porters, locals, and friends on the trail).

I like the BW versions for my usual reasons: separation of tones and forms and textures, and the meditative reduction of hues and saturations to luminous essences of lights and shadows, whites and blacks and grays.

I'm glad we have increased bracketing options, so images like these can be saved as 3 chromatic variants-- and who knows, I may experience a surging interest in color photography at some point and may regret not having kept all the raw data on certain landscape images. But for now and for a long while I'm content to work with tones and zones.
