| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This is a re-post of an earlier posting. I'm working to create a bit more consistence in postings of my older photo's. I'm now working on my Mexico trip.
In 1998, I made a 3.5 month round trip through Mexico and Guatemala. Starting in Cancun, I went counter-clockwise Cancun - Merida - Campeche - Veracruz - Mexico City, up to the area around Hidalgo del Parral and then down the West-coast towards Guatemala. A beautiful trip, resulting in some nice pictures.
Added is a picture of Campeche, which is an oasis of colours and tranquility after you arrived in the tourist-trap Cancun. Well, that was 8 years ago. Wondering if Campeche is still the laid-back place it was back then.
Technical details:
Picture made w analog SLR, slides scanned w Minolta Dimage Elite II slide scanner and adjusted in Photoshop based on the slide projection.

Hi Dennis,
Very nice composition and good perspective in the street.
Good light and very pretty colours, splendid blue sky too..!
Good shot...!
Best regards,
Patrick
Hello Dennis.
Your gallery is full of exceptional works. I chose to critique this photo because I'm sure you don't need another person telling you how beautiful your portrait work is.
I chose this shot because I think it is a good example of how the general rule that the best light is found early in the morning and late in the afternoon, doesn't always hold true. Here it's left you with long shadows that obscure the detail of the street and give the photo a lopsided feel (bright one side, dark the other).
In this case it would have been better if you'd shot nearer noon, to get the whole street lit.
Campeche is still laid back, I can assure you of that! I was there last October very briefly. Sunset on the Malecon was magical.

Regardles as to what fijiphil says; I find this street magical. Right side dark. Left light. But what is special is the gap of licht almost peaking through. It is gorgeous. I just wish a native was walking through the frame at this time.
Greetings!!!!!!
