[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo is for my TL friend Lucio Redrubin who has one of the must peculiars «themes» on TL: gas stations.

«Looking for a gas station to Redrubin» taught to me two important things:
1) There is a particular beauty in the industrial design of gas stations in which I never had repaired;
2) There are pressed security rules (at least in Portugal) that forbid the photograph taking in «gas stations».

So, my friend Lucio, it is with a great pleasure that I give you «my look of» a Portuguese gas station, capture that was a kind of adventure (in truth very funny); with the certainty of that when I see another one I’ll remember you, and I’ll look it with a lot more of attention - and, for this I, have to thank you my friend.

Hi Jose,

Lucio will sure be happy with this presentation.
The shot is superb in concept, live, and energetic.
That attracts the viewer.
Maybe , some more of space if given, could produce a more exciting result here.
Take care,

jp

Viva la Portugal! I'll com there one day...

boa noite jose

My regards

teresat

ciao Jose..
i didnt knew about the forbidden.. it's really corious.. why? which is the reason?!?.. ;))
the b&w give a notes of mood at your shot.. and the cyclists a good idea for your compo!! a stolen capture.. i suppose.. ;)) funny!! many thanks
ciao Marco

There's a wonderful casual sunny day feeling to this Jose.
Even though i know it's suppose to be a shot of the gas station, I find the two cyclists adds so much.
The conversion to sepia has a nostalgic feel to it also.
Well done!

Hello Dear Jose
In fact i feel this is serious shot , It's not funny in my eyes , it's moody and looks like archive Picture , the two cyclists, and their faces looks serious too , and they were important to complete the view , without them i think the frame would looks empty, Excellent POV , And i think the B&W was the right choice.
Well Done

Hi Jose,

quite a different look in a gas station in Portugal and one in North Carolina. It is interesting to see the differences in other places of the world. b&w looks great for this photo.

Nicely composed Jose, some may want more room to the right but the image balances out. Well converted with interesting tones and good all over detail.

Olá José,


hehehe adorei o teu ponto de vista, e olha que nos tempos que passam cada vez mais temos que nos afastas das bombas de gasolina e aderir as bicicletas..agora deixando de rodeios..

Gostei muito..criativo ;)

hello Jose,

i thought when i see the thumbnail the picture was taken yesteryears ago.. its only this year.. you turn this gas station shot in lovely old sepia.. nice one here.. good job, my friend..

regards, terry

Nice cature of the cycle of the life.

Hi Jose,
Interesting note about taking photo on petrol stations in Portugal. Due to high petrol cost here in NZ, there is a marked increase of petrol thieves. Nice B&W treatment with a hint of greenish color to give it an 'Ilford' film effect. Well captured and processed! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Estimado José,
esta sua foto é no minimo original.
Nunca pensei que uma bomba de gasolina ficasse tão bem numa fotografia.
Bom enquadramento e magnifico efeito sépia. Gostei bastante das notas pois tb desconhecia essas regras de segurança.

Muiots parabéns!!!

Hello Jose,
Very realistic picture, clear photo with very good detail. A very interesting picture. Perfectly work of the photographers. Pleases me much. With today's price gasoline is also healthy drives with far wheel. Congratulate.

Hello Jose!
Really wonderful addition to Lucio's theme, and I must say, it has a different pov! I totally agree with Vincent here! It does have a relaxed and aged/nostalgic feel to it. Wonderful image processing!
May your day be bright,

The title and the note makes it a very funny photo. Good job done.

hi jose.

there's something about this photo that reminds me of something....its like a weekend feeling and people staying in their home, maybe siesta time :) i think, it has something to do with the sepia tone. so natural. well captured. nice details. good POV.
