Shopping centre – Hengelo, the Netherlands

Out with my Dimage X50 again, finally decent weather with sun. Images are pumped up with RawTherapee to represent a specific style I like at the moment. The X50 takes somewhat blurry photos sometimes, which really adds to the estetic. The last four of the images were shot from the hip, because I became to selfaware with all those people around. Good thing this X50 is so small, nobody notices 🙂

Testing my new Dimage X50 – Hengelo the Netherlands

Testing out my new (to me) Minolta Dimage X50 from 2004. I like the noise and somewhat blurry look it gives to the photos. Some desaturation and vignetting added with RawTherapee.

I bought the camera specificaly for that vintage look. The camera has some flaws according to the old reviews, including blurred borders, stark contrasts, purple tinting and distortions which imho all add to the nostalgic vibe.
