In Rust We Trust
9

On old US 85 between Albuquerque and Santa Fe,, NM is a museum of old cars and gasoline pumps and assorted junk from the 1960s. Amazing Place that had a posted moto "In Rust We Trust", very apropos! Images taken in 2009 with the SD14 and the 20 mm F:1.8 DG lens. Processed yesterday in Photoshop, raw files imported directly into Photoshop.

Enjoy!

Re: In Rust We Trust

Interesting place!  I wonder if it is still there.

Around here there was a truck graveyard that has been a favorite of local photographers but I believe it is gone now.

The SD14 smooth sharpness really takes me back.  Not much like a Quattro image for sure.

It was as of 3 years ago.

Thanks for the comments Tom:  That is why I am excited about the FFF at 20 mp (which is about the same pixel pitch as the SD14/15)  I am hoping to get some of that smooth sharpness back!

What caught my eye was 33cts/gallon!

Once, in the late 80's Houston, a Jet station's gasoline got down to 46cts. Didn't last long ...
