Muted colors, old railways: A walkabout with Vivitar 28mm/f2.8
Shot with PENTAX K10D, processed using K10D Ver 1.30
ISO100, 1/100s, at mm (Reserved)

I went for a short walk with the Vivitar 28mm/f2.8 I bought recently. Right next to us there’s a railway that is nowadays used for cargo only. The old Laukaa railway station is no further than 300m from us, and there’s a section of old railway no longer in use with an abandoned railway car on it. I got some shots of the rails and car and of autumn foliage. The colors in the pictures are subdued, as the sun was behind a cloud curtain, but I like the mood. I had a blast shooting with nothing but the 28mm manual focus prime. I was not blown away by the lens, but I was not disappointed either. I might be tempted to go for the f/2 version, though.

Just to have a bit different presentation, I uploaded the images as a gallery: Vivitar 28mm/f2.8: A walkabout.
