Playing around with the Snapseed app on my iPhone - shot in Austin
I have so gotten into iPhoneography that I added a section for it on my blog: www.nomadicpursuits.com/iphoneography-blog/
I nearly lost this picture due to stupidity. For the first time in the digital era I thought I had downloaded the pictures, I hadn't, then formatted the card.
Recovery software to the rescue.
Schoolboy error.
From now on I will be rotating cards and not formatting them until I am sure I have downloaded and backed them up.
The DX brand name is a fairly rare one, but one that's popular with petroliana collectors. Introduced in the 1930's by Mid-Continent Petroleum, "Diamond-X" gas proved popular in the Midwestern territories where it was sold. In 1955, Mid-Continent merged with Sunray Oil to become Sunray Mid-Continent Oil Co. (to handle production) and D-X Sunray (for marketing). The Sunray brand was gradually phased out, and in 1968 Sunray merged with Sunoco. By the early 90's most DX stations had disappeared.
D-X Boron was the company's premium grade gasoline, and was introduced in 1955. This is the only D-X pump I've seen, and it's at a used car dealership. I've never seen a functioning D-X station.
