Mexico City's Best neighborhood? 🇲🇽
I just arrived in Mexico City and decided to stay in the neighborhood of Coyoacan, a vibrant and colorful neighborhood steeped in traditions but with a bit of a modern twist as well. We spend some time eating famous tostadas at the Coyoacan market (Mercado Coyoacan) and walk around this neighborhood of the city. What is Mexico City's best neighborhood? For me, it might be Coyoacan. Come tour the district of Coyoacan, Mexico City with me. Let's see what it's like during the Covid 19 pandemic.

Thanks, Mark. I’m still figuring out the camera stuff. Got a new pocket type of camera I’m filming on here. The Old GoPro in Brazil was not cutting it. But from the looks of this one, I need an ND filter. It’s pretty blown out in the background
@markkeller6635
3 жыл бұрын
Alex, you don’t need an ND filter. Check your camera menu for exposure compensation. If you feel your video is to bright, adjust the exposure setting a little to darken it. Honestly though, I’ve watched your video on a calibrated screen and the video looks fine. The brightness in the background looks completely normal for the contrasty lighting you were shooting in. The image stabilization is a dramatic improvement over the bouncy video from the old GoPro.
@TheTravelbum
3 жыл бұрын
Yeah so I’m filming on the DJI Osmo Pocket. Problem is, it’s such a small pocket camera, that I film auto exposure. It’s wayyy to hard to go into the menu to try to change it on a tiny tiny screen. So it’s often really overexposed. But I’ll figure it out. And yeah the stabilization is incredible, I love it
sooo awesome! love the place! the food looks amazing!

Love all your past videos, get where you’re at now, been all over Mexico in the past. I expect you will be hitting Frida Kahio’s house soon if you haven’t been there, very interesting. Great how you street eat, can’t be beat. Hard to get part your traveling companion not sharing Everything with you, now my eyes are on a break. Can’t wait to see where you go next.

When you come to Brazil, come to Santa Catarina, there’s Serra Catarinense(Urubici, Lages, São Joaquim) and we have a lot of beautiful places and beaches here, in the state of Santa Catarina!!!
I am glad to know that you will be back to brazil, particularly to the south of the country. Be prepared to visit another country in comparison to the north, in spite of the fact that Both regions are wonderfoul.
Now the winter has started here and in the south of Brazil, to be able to enjoy the beaches and explore nature, it is better to start in the month of November. During the winter it is best to travel in the North and Northeast of Brazil, but if you return close to summer, in addition to visiting the South, you can also visit the Midwest Region where there is a lot of natural beauty like the Pantanal where you can try to catch huge fish , "Bonito" city, caves, etc.
