Critique Welcomed Shell

[Chris Dodkin]

I've been eyeing this Shell station up for a while, in fact last time Darren B came over, we discussed shooting this very location.

It's got a great location at the top of a slight rise, with the ocean behind it to the west. It also has the most awesome lighting all the way around it - like something out of CE3K

Taken 20 mins after sunset, in civil twilight - X-Pro1 and 35mm Lens

Hi Chris great shot, there something about petrol station photography that inspires the imagination. But I can never figure out why.. As Peter said love the yellows and blues and pin sharp..

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Love the twinkling light for the sign on the left. Makes the shot for me.

A beauty Chris!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Chaps!

I think gas stations are like an oasis in the desert, or a port in a storm - they're designed to stand out, and it's often a relief to find one.

They also have some interesting building designs to boot.

Chris...The colors are super...the comp brings the eye all around finding new spots of interest. Just a cool shot.

At first glance I thought they had a Basketball Hoop wit a lit up net[doh].

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Glenn and Glen

I'm thinking even the best NBA stars would be challenged to dunk in that hoop Glen!

Fabulous Chris. Great contrasts and a slight hint of desolation.
