Walker Posted December 2, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 2, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I sort of like the graphics of those houses. It is a popular living area, seen to be the authentic Bergen by those living there. The houses are modernized, but date several hundred years back. Picture taken with handheld R9 DMR. Thanks for looking - comments welcome of course. Willy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billh Posted December 3, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 3, 2006 Hi Willie, These are interesting houses. We have some new neighbors from Norway (they are with the embassy in Washington), and they gave me a book about Norway which makes me want to go visit - in the summer, of course.

samwells Posted December 4, 2006 Share #3 Posted December 4, 2006 Willy - I like the jumble of different textures and angles, which are emphasised by b&w. Almost abstract patterns. Nice! cheers: Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canfred Posted December 5, 2006 Share #4 Posted December 5, 2006 Hi Willie , clearly designed to withstand winter. I do like the pattern but I would like to see this shot in colour as well. The photo is sharp and clear for handheld , was it a Vario lens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiff Posted December 7, 2006 Share #5 Posted December 7, 2006 Hi-Nice tone and texture. This is one of my favorite little towns that I've visited recently. Did you find the little Leica shop?-I think it was on or near the street in your photograph. I was standing outside this shop with my m6 around my neck, the shop was closed but the proprietor saw me and invited me in for a nice Leica discussion, lovely place Bergen....

Walker Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted December 8, 2006 Thank you all for looking. To those knowing Bergen: you may be as surpriced as we are that temperatures are still up to 5-10C (but rain is pouring continuously). We have not seen any snow this year at all. The lens is indeed Vario: 28 - 90. I like it a lot for all-round photography. The Leica-store is still with us and expanding. Some of the people working there are actually trained studio photographers, and are genuinly interested in the what we are doing. Stephanie's experience does not surprise me at all. I have enclosed the original color version of the shot. It may interest some to see how desaturation works in this kind of motive.
