"Potrero Power" is a stunning panoramic photograph capturing the raw beauty of San Francisco’s Potrero Generating Station, bathed in the golden hues of sunset. This ultra-high-quality image showcases the historic industrial site, once the city’s last operational fossil-fuel power plant, now a striking urban landscape of abandoned buildings, graffiti-covered walls, and echoes of a bygone era. A vintage motorcycle, perfectly positioned in the frame, adds a sense of freedom, nostalgia, and rebellion, making this image a cinematic portrayal of urban grit and resilience. The cracked grey pavement, industrial textures, and rich red brick tones contrast beautifully with the soft golden light, creating an atmosphere that is both gritty and timeless. This roughly 270° panorama was taken in the morning as people relaxed, fed the ducks and enjoyed the beauty and sound of the fountain.  The blue sky provides a vivid backdrop to the scene.This photograph was captured using a Seitz 220VR medium format film slit rotational panoramic camera, a rare and highly specialized imaging system that records light onto a rotating film drum. The result is a high-resolution image scanned at an incredible 212 megapixels, offering exceptional clarity, depth, and detail. The scanning slit rotational panoramic camera rotates as light records onto the internal rotating film drum. Depending on whether subjects are moving against or with the camera's rotation, people or objects may appear stretched or compressed. Also, in rotational panoramic photography, the phenomenon where straight horizontal lines appear curved is due to the cylindrical perspective inherent in this imaging technique. As the camera rotates, it captures a wide field of view, projecting the three-dimensional scene onto a two-dimensional plane. This projection causes horizontal lines, especially those above or below the lens axis, to curve inward or outward, while vertical lines remain straight. This effect is a natural consequence of mapping a wide-angle view onto a flat surface. This photograph was taken using medium format color negative film and scanned with a drum scanner to the high resolution of 212 megapixels, resulting in incredibly sharp detail. Ideal for lovers of urban exploration, industrial history, and fine art photography, this museum-quality print is available in multiple formats, including canvas, face-mounted acrylic, metal, mural, and premium photo paper. Add a bold statement piece to your home or office with this evocative glimpse into San Francisco’s industrial past. Custom sizes, including extra-large formats, are available.
