Tampere railway station

Contribution for The Sunday Challenge #468: get down low

I decided to make a retake. In 2012 I had just bought a 12 mm LensBaby fisheye lens for my old FourThird Olympus DSLR. Unfortunately it worked there merely as a 24 mm equivalent wide angle lens with no barrel correction. You find the 2012 version on PiP notes and links below.

Now the 16 mm equivalent lens on my phone camera has also an option to disable the digital barrel correction. And it then gives much wider angle.

Well hi there!
Looks like they actually made the screen more readable?
Did people stare at your setup? Smart idea.
I like this years better, maybe because the expanded view brings more interest to the top of the photo.

I like all of the shots, Sami, particular;y the discarded masks. Did you place them or had they just been carelessly left? Like the phone set up too BTW.

Thank you, Amelia. I absolutely don't stage images like this. I hate trashing.

And this is not even bad yet =(

My faves for your selfie and the masks trash, even if like Amelia says you might have placed them for the photo, it is the new pollution, we find them everywhere...

Obrigado, Isabel. I would never stage a view like this. Unfortunately that is the reality today.

Your new lens covers a lot more than in 2012.
Many subtle changes in the hall of the station, the most visible is in the screen of the trains. However, are the train services better or worse than 9 years ago?
