Norway Bergen Summer 2015

Here a few images from Norway Bergen Summer 2015

First is Voigtlander 12mm f/5.6 Leica LTM mount on Leica M9 a tiny but fun lens to shoot, 12mm on a full frame camera is very very wide and thus very challenging since the corners get stretched out so much it's almost unbelievable....

Here buildings at; Bryggen downtown Bergen along the old harbor front.

Next up is the 75mm Summarit 2.4  It really pulls together the framing of the house facades making it look cramped and intence

Second image was believe it or not planned already on the flight to Bergen, it was inspired by a very similar shot of a house reflection in a tuba, so when i head that the brass-band had moved closer to the facades I was quickly on the hunt to find them, added bonus was the reflection of the face was eacy to include withe the 75mm 2.4 up really close

I prefer the colour versions.

Looks like a fun place. I really like your bonus shot.

Here my host in Bergen, Petter, arriving in style to pick me up for the boat ride

And a distant shot directly into the sun, the coating has no problem suppressing ghost and flare and even faint smoke from a fire is rendered very truthful.

Both shot with 75mm 2.4

Typical 'Skærgårds' image, really idyllic cottages on the small islands, first gave a perfect framing with the 75mm 2.4 again.'
Second image is of the real estate of Bergen shot with 50mm 1.4 Summilux stopped down to f/5.6 the whole frame is crisp and colorful.

I prefer the colour versions.

Thanks
I also like it colorfull, but at 12mm the sensor is over it's limit for 'issues' in the corners so a B&W version is much cleaner...

Looks like a fun place. I really like your bonus shot.

Thanks
It always pays off to be prepared with some ideas up the sleeve...
