bodoman pics

[bodoman]

Everyone else has been brave enough to display their photos on here, so good or bad i,m sticking a couple of mine here.
these photos were taken in the north of Norway last year with my then camera, Minolta 7i, now been replaced, it might look warm in the pics, but it was very cold
dont know if anyone remembered the great Argos fiasco when they offered this camera at half price, while stocks last and nobody could get one, it was featured on watchdog on tv.
i was lucky, spotted the ad in the paper, checked all the argos stores on the web and reserved one from the only store to have one left in Hemel Hempstead, which is quite near to me.It was reduced from £900 to £450
How prices have fallen since !!
Just noticed they need to be expanded to see them better

Well worth going there mate, never been there on a cruise up the fiords yet, its quite expensive, but know people who have and they have beem amazed
by the scenery and really enjoyed the visit.

I have seen quite a few fiords, mainly from the roads as my wife is Norwegian and her family all live up in the acrtic circle and we tend to go there about every 2 years when the weather is good, the light is great for photography, looking forward to going there next May.

We are going there for a family Konfirmation ( a sort of chistening) that Norwegian kids have when they reach 15 years old.
Its a great photographic opportunity as everybody dresses in national costume, and they all are different designs as they show what area of Norway you come from, and they let you takes photos inside the church.
Cant wait to take my Leica there for the first time.
Attached a pic of a typical costume

So my advice is "if you have the dough, Go"

Took this pics of grandaughter yesterday, i just liked the colours of the mat she was laying on.
Also forgot how to reduce the file size (again) i think i have cracked it now by downloading infraview.

Have noticed though the quality of the photo seems to suffer after resizing so hope these look okay
