DDI goes to Mexico
On a recent trip to Mexico I put my P45+
Digital back to the test, I travelled in to central Mexico
to some of the less touristic places.
The problem of going to Mexico in August is the heat;
by mid day it can be 40ºc
in the shade.
My first port of call was El Cofre de Perote
a mountain that is 14000ft high, we got there at daybreak
it was 2º below 0 and the back was very wet from cloud moisture and rain.
By the time I had taken my last shot
about 20 minutes later my the temperature picture was at 30º
My second shot is from El Tajin a Toltec site
again the heat was immense climbing to 38º by 11 am
and a humidity of 80% the Phase One back just
kept taking pictures with out a fault.
The only problem I had was that no tripods are allowed
at any of the archeological sites in Mexico,
as all my shots would be time exposures
as the only camera I used in Mexico was a Horseman
SWD II Pro
It has been an enlightening experience to be at the shooting end
of a camera with issues to solve on location,
rather than explaining to Photographers
what a Phase One digital back can do.

Me on top of the world or so it seemed 14000 feet.
