Heya /p/
I'm back from my month in Mongolia!

I lost my 400D at the airport on the way out!

Luckily I managed to pick up a cheap point and shoot in a market stall at a festival in the city, so I still have some photos for you.

This one is the small town near the summer camp I was working at.

It was stolen from my pack as far as I can tell, I couldn't have it out due to airport security :(

The city in the distance here is the capital of Mongolia, Ulan-Bataar.

This was by a small (tiny) ex-Soviet resort town that had hot springs. They weren't anything more than a hole in floor in a hut, smaller (though deeper) than a bathtub, and filled with hot water.
It was still so relaxing after 4 days on horseback!

This is on the lake we were walking by. It contains 2% of the world's fresh water and was pretty massive.

Last one on the lake. We were trekking on foot here, though the night after I took this photo we stayed in a Ger camp (traditional Mongolian style yurts, made of a felt kinda thing).
It beat the crap out of tents.

Last one. This was in the War Museum in Beijing, which was so full of lies and propaganda.

Thanks!

The silver lining is that it was insured, but I'm still waiting to see if the insurance will pay out. Luckily the only equipment I lost with it was a 28mm f/2.8, a 4gb CF card and its case, and that's just about one of the cheapest lenses.

Oh cool you were the one who went to Mongolia. How did the whole gear situation pan out? I remember a big thread about that.

I ended up taking just the 400D and the 28mm lens, I left the 50mm at home at the last minute to save on space. I basically decided I really liked the 28mm and almost all my photos were going to be landscapes or group portraits, and it does pretty well for both plus it's really fast.

Then I went and lost it at the airport before I even got to Mongolia, so I can't really say whether my plan was any good or not.

your pics make me want to go there like right now...
(could you give me an idea of how much it cost you all inc ?)

My price is kinda weird because I was going with this group where it's also a teambuilding and personal development thing (not that any of that actually happened) which means some of the money paid went directly to charity and a fair bit went to their operating costs, plus I had to buy a decent pack and a fair bit of equipment, not to mention vaccinations.

My total was $7000 paid for the trip, $600 for vaccinations and probably $3000 for all the kit, though you could cut that down pretty easily.

On the other hand, to get out there, a friend recommends http://www.exodus.co.uk/holidays/acm.html
who charge some $4000 for 15 days all inclusive and you get to see a lot more than I did.
