I realize that a photo of a gas station may be nothing to most people. I like this kind of shot. I am drawn to light and color. Gas stations that are well lit are a good example of color and light. I know that on YouTube these days, shots of gas stations are cliché. I almost did not take this shot just to avoid being cliché. I shot this with my Toyo-Field 45A with a 6x12 back, and then cropped it to 1x3, the same aspect ratio as a 6x17 negative. This is a drum scan and the resulting file is about 20,000 pixels wide. I can easily print this to about 6 feet wide, so I didn't lose anything by cropping it slightly on the top and bottom.
