Critique Welcomed Tome Pepsi

[Chris Dodkin]

This is a vintage 50s Pepsi chiller - Probably from Mexico

X-Pro1 and 35mm Lens at f/2 - PP in NIK ColorFX

Tome Pepsi literally means Take Pepsi - although I also read online that there was a Mexican Pepsi distributor called Tome in the 50s.

"Tome," pronounced "toe-meh". Spanish for drink. Yeah,...probably from Mexico, Chris. Nice shot.

Thanks Brian - I love the vintage stuff from this era - I go to Larry's junk shop in Cottonwood when ever we're in the area, just to see what they have

Can't afford their prices, but photos are free

You could keep a forum full of photographers busy snapping for a week in that place - 2 acres of vintage cr@p

Fabulous colours and a very vintage feel Chris. I hear there's also a guy a guy in the area with a house full of old cameras. You should see if he wants some pictures taking of them!

To me......the angle of the shot makes it very interesting.

 

[Beth Carter]

loving the washed out/vintagey colors. was that due to actual fading on the cooler or pp?

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Beth - bit of both, the cooler was faded nicely, and i then tweaked that further with NIK

To me......the angle of the shot makes it very interesting.

Thanks Glenn - I find that using the rear screen on the camera for comp has really helped me get more interesting compositions

Plus it enables me to get the camera into places that would have been tricky with a DSLR
