Last picture (4/4) in the series of blue close-ups with the Olympus TG-5 and TCON-T01.

 

I had a lot of fun photographing this particular item of urban architecture in Łódź.

 

This is an out-of-camera JPEG, with a slight edit to attenuate the Purple Orb in the center. It's still slightly visible, but was not very distracting in an abstract picture like this anyway. Could have left it.

 

The Purple Orb is an optical artifact of the folded lens design of the Olympus TG series that appears in certain light conditions. It's similar to lens flare, although the mechanism is probably different. The purple hue may be due to light hitting the sensor and being reflected back to it by the optical assembly, but I don't know if anyone really elucidated the precise cause.

My friend and co-worker Justin has a new 10 week old Bulldog puppy and brings him to work from time to time. Don't be fooled by Turbo's serious face, he's one funny and entertaining dog! He's obsessed with chewing on my shoes and pulling my shoelaces!

pasta dough recipe www.dovesfarm.co.uk/products/organic-pasta-pizza-flour i followed the instructions on the reverse of the packet

i used the manual pasta rolling machine to roll out the pasta flic.kr/p/2qyWLMW

finally it's clicked how to roll out the pasta using the pasta rolling machine without gumming up the works

before heading to the machine, roll out the well kneaded pasta no thicker than the gap created by the number 1 position on the rollers

look at the number 1 position gap between the rollers and don't put the well kneaded pasta dough between the rollers until the thickness of the pasta dough is that of the number 1 gap or less

result, the dough rolled out nicely, no iffy moments flic.kr/p/2r7C28e such as pasta dough getting completely wrapped around the rollers and having to be scrapped off, not good :(

Yesterday I had an encounter with a very curious milkfactory :)

I love those cows and the milk they're producing.
