Blue Universe

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.
