St. Albans, Vermont
I lucked out on the light when I found the St. Albans Drive-in Theater. So often when I find an interesting theater the light is all wrong, it needs morning sun instead of afternoon, clear sky when it's overcast, or sometimes overcast to set off a screen against a mountainside. But around 4:00 this afternoon the clear sunlight and deep blue sky to the east were just perfect to show off the structure of this theater's screen, along with the ticket booth and the concession stand. I like the shadows on the sign from the lights. It framed up nicely with Route 7 and some long tree shadows, using the 8x10 Deardorff with 240mm Apo Sironar S. The white screen is the least interesting aspect of this venue, so I'm delighted to have the light perfect for this angle.

This one looks pretty functional. We saw a big DI near John Day, OR a few weeks back, with screen and hiway sign, but it was clearly not operating as a theatre any more -- the parking area was filled with construction equipment, and no films were listed on the program.
