Day 287
I had an opportunity to stop by the old B&B Petro gas station while there were no semi-truck trailers parked there. Finally, I've been waiting for this moment to take a picture using my Minolta X700. Sunny day, high shadows, high contrast, and......wait for it....batteries were TOAST--AGAIN. Man, y'all--don't leave this camera on. It will eat your batteries like candy.
Luckily I had my trust 24mm Canon with me. Was able to snap a few with an empty parking lot to show the business #urbex that was one of the multiple gas stations that closed after the hurricane.
I used the NIK Silver Program to attain the grain and image i wanted using an Ilford HP4 ISO 50 filter. It's a pretty cool program for free. Very cool stuff on there. Thanks Google.
