  Well people realise that you can get cheap photobooks filled with amazing photos that you could never take with your own camera, and those come with all the history pre-printed.
  
  Whereas you are the only one who can get pictures of yourself with other friends having a blast in those areas.
  
  Lots of partying goes on, but I’d say that touring around and seeing the sites and sounds was at least 80% of my trip.

  I think you’ll also find that a lot of people took hundreds of photos, and only put up 20 on the web. They are more likely to pick the ones with people in them so they can share them with their fellow tour mates.
  
  Lets face it, most pictures of the Eiffel Tower look the same…

  Yeah! It seems a little like that but Sightseeing was a big part of the Contiki Tour i was on and believe you me having time to unwind and have a drink is very much needed.

  I had someone on my Egypt trip who took something like…1000 photos or something like that, I can’t remember the exact number, might have been more.

  Thanks ~ Me, patient? hahaha. Nah, it’s a matter of volume. Shot 2200 pics on my last trip, some on continuous shooting – 1 out of the 40 will come out good <!--graemlin:;)-->
  
  I’d say about 1/2 of those are DSLR, the other half a mix between my old Canon and new Nikon point & shoots. You can tell which ones they are without peeking at the file info – the ones that appear to be wide angle are probably the SLR.

  The first 17-18 shots on there were taken with the old Canon SD20 point & shoot that I used to use.
  
  Most of the others are with a Nikon D70s SLR, and there are some Nikon s7c point & shoot shots mixed in. I will say the Nikon point & shoot beats the pants off the Canon at night. No contest. It’s why I ditched the Canon.
  
  These three are with the Nikon – not DSLR! – point & shoot:

  The D70 is the older 2005 model, mine is the D70s – 2006 release. The pics you see above are from a Nikon point & shoot – no SLR <!--graemlin::D-->

  Gryphon, I took over 1,000 pictures in Egypt. Chi took like 3,000 pictures.
  
  As for what people take pictures of. If I took a picture when I was sightseeing, I would take a couple of each thing then pick the best one or two. In many museums you can’t take pictures and some days you don’t see much worth taking pictures of, except tourmates. Plus, once people get drinking and taking pictures they tend to get carried away. But most people take a mixture of pictures.

  The photo’s are for the individual, if that person prefers photos of people over buildings then I dont see anything wrong with that. Doesnt mean they arnt appreciating where they are.
