Almost as good as the print, this shot shows why Tri-X still stands as one of the best b&w films out there. I took many shots of this place, but just this one in b&w. I might post the color shots on Tuesday.
So retro...I love it! My aunt had a farm and she had her own gas pump which was just like that minus the Esso sign.
Wow ! This is really an old pump. Interesting work on the black and light .
Ya know, that's a perfect scene for a good black and white shot. Very nicely done!
Cool BW Micki. I love old gas stations.
Tri-X and I were born at the same time :-) Actually, not really -- I'm not THAT old -- but man is it nice film -- and this is a great example of why --- I just love Tri-X -- it's the first b&w film I used -- and I have a drawer full of it --
GREAT IMAGE!! very nicely done...
Great B&W picture. The contrast is perfect. As you probably know, I love Tri-X.
Excellent, Micki. Perfect for B&W.
clear and well toned, excellent bw...
Great b&w shot. I like the sharpness of the photo.
With the antique service station stuff, the B&W is perfect. Nice shot! Think I'll load up the 700si with Tri-X.
You know This shot was perfect for b&w.
Makes me think of Mayberry LOL but with htat old gas pump in there, I screams I should be B&W :-)
That is fantastic! I just got my 6 rolls of Tri-X from Adorama. As soon as I replace the light seals on my 'new' Olympus 35 RC, I'm hitting the streets! I also plan to develop 4 rolls of 120 film. Gosh! I feel like I'm 20 again, which is when I was doing all of this stuff in the first place!
Not too many of these old pumps (and even the old Esso sign!) survive, what a grand find. I used to bulk load Tri-X for my old Yashica rangefinder. But I'll say I never mastered the processing of the film.
The tones of history faithfully recorded here. How nostalgic these (not really so) old gadgets and sign-writings are.
GOOD and RICH picture Micki!! :-) good morning,I just wake up :D
Very nice one I love it this b&w image and me too love the Try-X :-)
I thought 'Mayberry' as well when first viewing this - great vintage-quality shot on such a versatile stock. Viva Tri-X!
That is mighty nice. I'll have to give it a go again and snap my fixation with the Kodak BW400CN.
