(I noticed the thumbnail generation of the blog software seems to eat away the colour in the image (and no, the image is not in aRGB colorspace). I’ll need to tweak the software and add a way to examine the larger image.)

Because of being busy with other things, the camera has stayed on the shelf for a while. I’ve felt bad about not photographing more, but if I don’t feel like, and there’s nothing in particular that would demand being photographed, then why should I feel guilty? But now, autumn and the colours and fantastic light it has brought with it forced me to take a camera with me on a little tour on the streets of my home town.

This photograph is from the yard of the old Orimattila spinning mill, now converted to a shopping mall with lots of small boutiques. The image was processed in Aperture (I have three days left of the trial version, I should write a bigger piece on the software before the trial period expires) only to straighten it to fit my view of the scene. The shallowish depth of field was obtained by the only way the nice walkabout glass Tamron 18-250/3.5-6.3 offers: by using the longest possible focal length, 250mm. I don’t know if I have my goals too low, but for the huge focal length range of the objective, I quite like the sharpness of the Tamron.
