I think this one would have been better without the pre-canned filter.

It's not a pre-canned filter, but it is an edited iPhone shot. I didn't have very good connectivity there so it was easier to keep a steady flow of content from the iPhone only.

Also shot this a couple ways with a regular camera, but didn't feel comfortable enough where I was to pull out an iPad for editing. Best to keep the gadgets hidden in some places. ;)

Will likely replace this one with a higher res edit later.

Apologies if I sounded flippant. At a larger size the PP distracts from the vibrant color and interesting subject.

Apology not needed! I welcome feedback, it's just that when I'm doing a quick edit on the iPhone, it's hard to tell exactly what I've got until I can view it on a bigger screen later.

Sometimes I get close enough, but other times I'm off. However, I did want to make sure I got various qualities to choose from on that one & shot it with my regular camera too. I just didn't re-edit for the blog since I'd already uploaded it.

That being said, those buses are called "chivas" here. Most are more beat up & even more colorful. I think that one is a more newish one for the tourists. I'll be looking for a better, more authentic representation of a "chiva" before this trip is finished for certain. :)
