...also behind the buildings. I used old Olympus OM-1n SLR film camera equipped with 16mm fisheye lens. Getting the film developed and scanned turned out rather slow and expensive, and also the quality of scanning was not too great when it comes to resolution. It is a pity because Olympus never made full size digital camera sensors, and this lens works as a pathetic 32mm lens on Four Third system.

Alternative edit for The Sunday Challenge: "Favorite challenge theme in collage"

...can be a challenge. One needs to decide how to arrange the individual images to achieve somewhat harmonious whole. And then the collage should also support the idea. What should be the aspect ratio of the entire collage? What should be the aspect ratio of individual shots? Here I chose 16:9 aspect ratio because it has become pretty common thanks to television. Then I saw a movie 'Get Carter', and there in the title screen I saw a cool vertical stripe layout used. This collage is also a contribution to The Sunday Challenge, where the task was to use a collage to illustrate one's favorite TSC challenge. I chose 'Song titles' because I often use them when giving a title for my images. However, instead of naming any song titles here, I ask you to guess what album and song titles this collage brings to your mind. Two or three of the images should be pretty obvious, and once you get them, then you probably find out what band and album I had in mind and was listening when doing this collage. EDIT: Karen guessed the album and three songs out of five: Time, Money and Eclipse. Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" has been the most influential album in my life. And based on the Wikipedia article, it has been the same for many others. It is kind of funny how people seem to put Pink Floyd's music under many various genres. But it kind of does goes under many musical styles, and that probably has been intentional from the band: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Side_of_the_Moon EDIT: Also the rest of the images guessed below on comments. Skull is for "Us and Them" and self portrait is for "Brain Damage".

...to do the collage. Inspired by Mick (mixpix) , I tested webGobbler . I used local disk as a source, and here are seen some of my pictures taken in 2013. Rather cool software B-) Contributed NTSC group with this example picture with what one could use for the 'Collage challenge' to illustrate something like 'Abstract challenge'.

...in the park. This morning when I having my daily morning walk with Clara (the dog), I saw this in Sorsapuisto park, in the middle of Tampere. Looking very professional hammock, I would say. And may have been a lovely way to sleep over. Although, there is rather busy road right behind the hill.
