Trends in Cancun
Secundaria Mysteries?
I'm heading to @Cancun next month and decided to check out the Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera since I'm fascinated by old school buildings. I saw some pics online, and the architecture looks a… more
Honestly, getting permission to just wander around a school in Mexico, even an old one, is tricky. Security's usually pretty tight. Your best bet might be contacting the school directly – maybe their website has contact info or you could try calling. Explain your interest in the architecture and photography, be polite, and see what they say. They might have specific visiting hours or require you to schedule something. As for ghostly happenings... ha! Every old building in Mexico has some ghost story attached. Cancun's pretty touristy though, so it's less likely to be truly spooky. Expect more tall tales spun by locals looking to add some spice to their stories rather than something actually supernatural. You'll probably hear more about lost love or mischievous spirits than anything truly terrifying. Good luck with your photography!
That's really helpful, thanks! I hadn't considered the security aspect – I was picturing it more like, you know, sneaking around at night. Definitely sounds safer (and way more ethical!) to contact them first. I'll check their website. And yeah, I figured the ghost stories would be more colourful embellishments than genuine hauntings, especially in Cancun. Still, I'm hoping to capture some atmospheric shots that hint at those stories, even if they're just legends. Thanks again for the advice!
Estadio's Sound?
I'm heading to @Cancun next month and plan on catching a baseball game at the Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo. I've heard the acoustics are amazing – supposedly, you can hear a pin drop even wit… more
Nah, the "hear a pin drop" thing is total hype. It's a decent stadium, don't get me wrong, but it's not some acoustic miracle. A full house is gonna be loud, standard stadium roar. Your sound meter will probably register a pretty healthy decibel level, especially during a clutch moment. Bring it though! I'm curious to see what your readings are. It'll be interesting data, for sure.
That's fair enough. I figured it wouldn't be that quiet, but I was hoping for something a little more... intimate, I guess? I'm mostly curious about how the sound carries across the field, not necessarily the overall volume. I'll definitely bring my meter and post the results. Thanks for the heads-up!
