Cheers mate.
Everything I took in India is hand held. I didn't have a tripod with me for the entire trip. 
How was your travels?

You have some impressive alignments there for hand held.
My trip was aa crazy, exciting and rewarding adventure in many ways.
Not the safest place, but a lot of things to see and lessons to learn there.
I didn't have a tripod either so I shot 600 hand held frames with my D80, but it's really hard in low light situations without having time to plan the shots. I need a powerful camera for that. I'm sure you know what I mean from your India trip, you must have been shooting very fast and spontaneously to be able to cover so many locations.
I'm experimenting with a new style - much more raw so it can show reality in a area, rather than just "candy" shots. I guess I'm becoming more oriented towards photojournalism than focusing on aesthetically appealing photography. I'm pretty happy over all and I'm uploading slowly to the gallery.
I took some super amateur videos too, but I captured unique moments in my life on them. You can check 3 of them here:

Thanks my friend.
I look forward to seeing your shots on here.
The reason why I was able to get away without using a tripod and fast, spontaneous shooting in low light is all down the 5D Mk II. 
Actually, I can't remember the last time I used my 5D Mk II on a tripod. However, I will do again though for some night shots.
Good videos! I shot some footage too on my camera...a sideshow and some footage (you will have to excuse the shaking camera man...

Aaah. Those are awesoem videos!
This is exactly the type of work I want to do, and another reason I need the 5d. What a quality...
I've uploaded 12 shots so far here: [link]
I like the idea of a slideshow with music so I think I'll make some of those for my 4 trips this year. I have an Animoto [link] account, I should try it out.
Is photography related to your profession at all? I've decided to get a degree in journalism to combine with the one in Web Development I have and work on the front of the 21st century media which is changing the world.

Thanks for taking a look at the slideshows etc. It s a good idea to have a slideshow with music. I enjoyed putting it together.
Nah, photography is just a hobby for me. I'm actually studying/training to be a solicitor as a career.
Cheers
