Central American Textures

Robert Watcher

Well-known member
I simply can’t get enough of the textures and colours of Central America. I walk the same streets and never have to worry about finding new content that I’ve never photographed before.

A few things are vital to my photographic experience:
1- A small pocketable camera. Currently the Olympus EM10 with 14-42mm (28-84mm) kit lens
2- iPad and/or iPhone with OL Share so that I can send the files I want to post online, to my phone or tablet with the Olympus built-in wifi.
3- Snapseed App on my portable devices for processing the Imported images
4- Gifyu.com to upload files to for storage, resizing, BB code, delivery to online sites such as Instagram, Facebook, OPF, etc
5- Data plan on my iPhone to get me access to the web. I often use it as a Hotspot for my easier to use iPad

With this setup, I wander the streets grabbing images unobtrusively, pop into a coffee shop or just sit on a sidewalk and transfer the files from camera to device wirelessly, process them and upload them to display online. It’s the “cats meow”

Some very nice images there. I like the second, fourth, fifth and sixth. I only don't like the third because they give me very poor signal to my finca. Anyway that's a very nice door series.

So funny. When we lived in Nicaragua, everyone we knew wanted to use Moviestar - they all hated Claro (that’s what we used). We are still with Claro in Guatemala, and all the people we know here say we should be with Tigo ——— we just can’t win! HeHe
