#36 A colourful building

Soon after the Scavenger Hunt challenge became announced at The Sunday Challenge group, I searched for colorful buildings around Tampere region. On one YLE News article I then spotted the ideal target.

After several weeks I finally got time to visit the place. The weather and light were ideal for the subject. I first thought the building would be on the other side of the street, and I would have to shoot against the light. But it turned out the building was bathing in the bright spring light.

I was first going to take pictures only with my Lumix camera, but then few minutes before the bus to take me home arrived, I took two shots with the camera phone. Then on my way home, I once again played with Mirror Lab Android app and got this. I liked what I saw, and the traffic sign then turned out as a wonderful bonus!

Several years ago I used to be almost fanatic about trying to reach if not perfect realism on my photos, but at least something that could be called as "plausible". But then my path has lead me to explore surrealism. To create imaginative pictures have become more important than to document the reality.
