san Using the Camera GPS to find the Sunken Church In San Miguel By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:26:00 +0000 I've now been in San Miguel de Allende for almost 6 weeks, about half way through our winter stay here. I have been enjoying all flavours and experiences that this city has to offer. I've even experienced some of the standard tourist events such as fighting with the Aztec gods (Montezuma of course). This laid me low for a few days but unfortunately after a few days when I thought I was getting better I developed a secondary infection that required visiting the doctor and getting medication. Now after 2 weeks I'm finally starting to get the spring back in my step and venturing back out. This does curtail your photography. But back to the GPS item. Several weeks ago my friend Mike took me out to see the sunken church on the large shallow lake south-east of San Miguel. The lake is really a reservoir and during the dry season, winter here, the church becomes fully visible. The ground is still too mucky to be able to walk all the way out, but you can get close enough for some good shots. If you look closely you can see some cacti growing out of the top portion of the church spire and therefore the church is not completely sunken. What was really surprising when we first arrived was that we saw pelicans, which to many may not be unusual near water but this is at an elevation of 6,000ft and and 550 km from the nearest ocean. I've been using on-camera GPS for almost 3 years, at least capturing the meta data with the image but I've never had to really use the info as until now I've always known exactly where I was. Not this time as this was new territory, so when I tried to use the Nikon format to enter into Google maps it took a while to find a site that would convert correctly. Nikon gives a format such as:Longitude: 20,52.1567NLatitude: 100,50.1574WAltitude: 1853m Nikon is not DDD, MMM, SSS (Degrees, Minutes , Seconds but in format of DDD, MMM.MMMM) Whereas Google maps required decimal degrees only in format DDD.DDDDD. After some web searching I did find one site that would provide conversion in the Nikon format. Nikon GPS Converter In the Google map below the green arrow shows where I took the photo of the church above and the red arrow the top of church spire above the water. This Google map (satellite view) was taken when the area was flooded. It is a bit strange to see that where you were standing is now underwater. A little north east of red arrow is a round ring. This is visible in the last photo of this article. Towards the hill on the south-east in the map above is another church, not sunken but still abandoned. Most of the foliage,except for the cacti at this time of year, is brown. This make a colour image rather drab. But converting to B&W and adding some contrast can make the photo stand out more. In the image below the green cacti with a blue sky does make a colour version work better. Below is the map and the green arrow shows where I was standing taking the photo above with the cacti. As you can see the camera GPS is very accurate in capturing within feet where you where standing at the time when photograph is taken.Another version of the sunken church where you can see the round ring that shows up beside the spire in the Google water map.

san An Explosion of Colors at the El Señor de la Conquista Festival in San Miguel de Allende By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Sun, 04 Mar 2012 19:13:00 +0000 The one thing I enjoy most about San Miguel de Allende is that you'er busy. I'm taking photographs everyday, meeting old and new friends and enjoying lots of events. There are many artist shows opening every week and then there's the special film showing and theater plays. The downside, at least for my blog readers, is the problem with actually getting down and writing a new article. I was working on a theme and then on Friday the 2nd of March there was the 'El Señor de la Conquista' Festival in San Miguel de Allende in and around the center square called 'el Jardin'. There were 5 different groups from local towns nearby each with their own style of dress and costumes. Withh such a display of colors and action it was not hard to keep photographing as they almost performed continuously for 10 hours. There was a small break in the afternoon as they started around 10:00am and continued until 9:00pm. Even the people resting provided good photographic opportunities. It's easy to see from the next photo how much these dancers enjoyed and were engrossed with their performances. During breaks they laid their headdress on the ground. The music playing and drums resonated over the whole town all day long and if you wanted a quiet spot you almost had to head out of town. Great costumes and action. Even fathers and sons participated. San Miguel is first an historic town with stunning architecture but the festivals which almost happen every weekend during some months add that extra spice and color to your stay here.

san Festivals in San Miguel de Allende By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:21:00 +0000 It seems like there is always some sort of festival going on in San Miguel. In fact, there really is. Most of these are tied to religious or Mexican national events, but at times there also those unexpected festivals. When they involve children they can make for extra special photographic events. And who doesn’t love the smiles and special faces that children can make. Add a few costumes and now there is magic in the air. Last year and again this year there was the multicultural school event with kids coming from many districts. I wasn't paying special attention to the date as I didn’t even know it was happening again. I only came by the festival when I was heading by the Jardin. Which is a daily ritual for me in my treks around town. I didn't notice the festival event in the local paper Atencion which is great for highlighting events in and around town. There is always so much going on that it's easy to miss one, or sometimes the festival's name is in Spanish and it may not be evident by its title. I asked one of the girls participants to pose with the rose as she seemed to have the best smile of all of them.She and the boy in the image above were the central characters in their school skit. The pair of them started off sitting on a bench and the boy appeared to reject the advances of the girl. I believe that this was part of a Valentines theme as every person had a heart on their palms. After a short interval, with the music was playing all the time, the rest of their class mates joined them on stage and performed a choreographed dance. It was great fun to watch and in this photo you can see all their hearts on their hands. A few weeks later I came across an art festival called “Thank You Art' project. This is were kids and some adults, me included, glued coloured tissue paper to a clear plexiglass sheet. They were allowed to cut the sheets into strange shapes or with cut-outs and even write messages on their sheets. Then they were glued on top of each other in a multitude of different colors. When the panels were hung in a lighted area they glowed like stained glass panels. During my photographing of the kids enjoying themselves one of the directors of the project asked me if they could use some of my photos for the up coming display of the final glass sheets. I was fortunate to have several of my images selected for the Art show in the Biblioteca that ran for 2 weeks.They printed my images 39cm x 52 cm (15” x 20”) and hung them on the wall around the 2 plexiglass sheets that looked like large stained glass windows. When in San Miguel you should always, and I mean always, have your camera with you as you never know what's just waiting around the next corner. Three times during my winter stay I did not take my camera with me and I regretted it each time. Now I don't leave home without it. It may be a bit heavy so I carry it in my backpack.

san Buildings of San Miguel By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Wed, 02 May 2012 18:17:00 +0000 This is a story that evolves over time. Every year as I explore new parts of town or even revisit other parts at different times of the day, there are new buildings emerging. Not new in the sense of being just built but new in the sense of discovery. Especially when its not your town and even not your region, everything is so different. Along the side of the Biblioteca on Relox This is almost an abstract image with 3 main sections. I wanted the yellow to be dominant so I increased the contrast in this section and a bit in saturation. On some monitors if not calibrated it will display as very bright yellow, whereas it should be a bit soft. I darkened the blue and decreased saturation to make the yellow appear brighter. I didn't want to lighten the whole road so I increased the brightness in the highlights and strengthened the yellows. Sometimes you get a 'batch perfect apples in the basket' so to speak. In the image below, the house was painted a blue to match the strong blue skies of San Miguel. The sky is also a darker blue here at approx. 7,000 ft. Strong blues ranging from this sky color to almost navy-blue can be found on several homes. Near the corner of Aldama on a walk-only side street between Xichu and Oje de Agua Google map reference (20.90370, -100.7432) A very skinny house. Not sure what it's used for. I guess someone wanted to build a house in an alleyway. I seen places like this in Toronto where the house is 3 storeys high and 10' wide. This building in San Miguel may be actually skinnier. Even with a 18mm lens I needed to stitch 2 vertical photos to get the whole building in one combined photo. San Miguel, like most Mexican towns, is always undergoing some sort of building repainting. The standard building colors are yellow, rusty-orange, burnt-red, and some white. They may be repainted these same colors or even repainted a vibrant new color such as blue. That's why in Google Street View the photos of the buildings may not now be as shown in Google. Sometimes as in the photo below there has been some new painting with bolder colors. This small section of buildings has all the colors of the rainbow and a few extra. Corner of Aldama and Terraplén This colorful green building with just enough red to give it some accent caught my interest I. It wasn't until after I looked around that I realized that it was beside the entrance to the Bull Fighting Ring. And sometimes with luck a car drives by, whose color enhances the photo of the building. Next year I will be in San Miguel for six (6) months and I be conducting photo-walks again. If you are in the area then drop me a line and we can go out and photograph this lively town together. Niels Henriksen Full Article San Miguel de Allende Street Photography travel
san Sections of Buildings in San Miguel de Allende By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com Published On :: Tue, 05 Jun 2012 15:04:00 +0000 The photos displayed in the blog article focus mainly on parts or sections of buildings in San Miguel. While some photos, such as the image below, are clearly understood. The rest have more of an abstract genre and for these the lines become the main compositional elements. Within the city, the walls along with the sidewalks are continuous, except for the odd entrance to an inner courtyard or alley way. In the photo above, this wall is most likely not part of a house, but used more as a high fence to an inner courtyard. Inside could be a rubble heap or a grand garden and fountain. Never knowing what you'll find behind these walls is one of the intriguing aspects of San Miguel. On the walls in the courtyard of Bellas Artes (the National Institute of Fine Arts) these lanterns hang on the abutments on the adjacent walls. The darker brickwork along these abutments were darkened and made more gritter to enhance the texture of the lanterns. This image is from the same courtyard of Bellas Artes, the photo above with the lanterns, but here I'm looking from across the street and the 3 curved protrusions are form the top of the outer wall. Atotonilco is a UNESCO world historic site (church) about 20 mi out of San Miguel. It's only a short distance from here to the Hots Springs which is a favourite spot for many people in San Miguel. On Saturdays in the village (50 people) there are many street vendors selling unique religious objects. Within the core of San Miguel is a Bull Fighting Ring. Only a few blocks from the central square (el Jardin) of the town. In the photo above you can just see the top the homes which abut to the walls all around the Bull Ring. There were no events or spectators on this day and this allowed me to take photos of the beautiful curved lines of a circular bull ring. While walking around I just couldn't resit this bit of abstraction with the 2 different lanterns and their corresponding shadows.

Lozada's menacing shadow looms over the murder, but it's Rennie the investigators focus on as the prime suspect. The privacy she has cultivated and protected at all costs is violated by the police as well as Lozada. And when he begins an earnest courtship, insinuating himself into every aspect of her life, it becomes terrifyingly clear that he is obsessed with having her. Wick Threadgill is a detective on indefinite leave from the Fort Worth PD, who has his own personal agenda for the contract killer. Temperamental, bitter, and driven by loyalty and love, Wick is determined to destroy Lozada...as determined as Lozada is to possess Rennie Newton. In order to defeat Lozada-and save their lives-Rennie and Wick form an uneasy alliance. Mistrustful of each other, they know only one thing with absolute certainty-like one of Lozada's prize scorpions, when this killer strikes, they won't see it coming. The Crush will take you on a tortuous path through a twisted sociopath's eerie obsession, a haunted man's fragile hopes for redemption, and a woman's heart as she struggles to face her greatest fear-to open herself to love.
