San Miguel De Allande
Jan 13, 2014 00:07:18 #
In Nov I spent a great week in San Miguel armed with my Sony NEX and a GoPro camera.
San Miguel is a very beautiful "walking" city with a very friendly population, including resident US and Europeans, and an almost zero crime rate.
I used The GoPro (Black) as a 'walk about' camera on a chest mount, and just let it run.
Here is an 2 example frames from the GoPro near where we stayed.
The GoPro was running at 30 fps, so on a 30 min walk, that's thousands of frames!
These are crops from a camera running at 30 fps, just 'tweeked' a bit to get some of the curvature out of the GoPro's fish eye lens.
Not too bad I think!

Glad you had an opportunity to visit San Miguel de Allende. My brother retired there a few years ago and I had a chance to visit the beautiful city. It's a great place to explore and photograph. The architecture is magnificent.
I posted one of my favorite photos of San Miguel, a lazy but colorful scene of dogs sleeping in the afternoon sun.
If you're interested, I have some other scenes from San Miguel in this gallery.

Peter,
What a nice work. Really does look like a painting. I hope to get back to San Miguel soon to visit my brother and spend more time photographing the architecture.
Did you have any difficulty with the elevation? When I first arrived it was easy to walk around at 6200 feet. But, after two days, it kind of hit me and climbing stairs took an effort.
You'll have to tell me about your GoPro camera. I want to get one. Was trained as a cinematographer, so I have a need to make pictures MOVE...
Talk to you soon,
Bob

Bob.
Thanks for the liking the "Panting"....it was just a push of a button when you got the photo in the "Fotor" Program. It is a free download program (Free is Good!)
I walked many miles in San Miguel, and I am almost 85!
One thing I did was get a couple of "Anti Gravity" shoes....They are the shoes with springs in the heels and soles.....made a great difference. I am really sold on them.
Go to antigravitishoes.com.....not cheap, but great for walking on uneven surfaces.
No problem with altitude.
I met a guy and his wife in SMA who was the senior photographer for Houston Chanel 2 TV before retiring to SMA......we are Email budies now! Lots of great stories!

Hi Bob. I like the painting effect but can't find it either in the downloaded(Windows) or on-line version of the program. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks very much.
