Support -- Tomer T (talk) 13:13, 6 January 2020 (UTC)- Support Indeed one of my favs in Norway, thank you for the nom, Tomer T! Poco a poco (talk) 13:33, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
Comment A geocode would be nice and perhaps a mention in the description that the street is actually perfectly straight; in the photo it looks like it was taken on a corner. --Cart (talk) 15:44, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Sure thing, Cart,
Done and info added also here Poco a poco (talk) 16:15, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Sure thing, Cart,
- Thanks, much appreciated. Small question: With panoramas like this, where a distortion like this might not be the best thing for the accuracy of the image, have you thought about not taking all the photos from the same spot, but rather place the camera in front of each house along the street, or something like that, and later merge them? I have done that on some occasions (this is one) and you get a more true perspective. --Cart (talk) 17:07, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Cart First of all, I like this kind of perspective, it may be "less encyclopedic", but I enjoy it; secondly in order to reduce this distortion I need to use more mm and for that I need to go further (or alternatively do what you did, taking a picture in front of each house), but IMHO none of these 2 options were practicable, because therefore I would have had to go further to the back, which wasn't physically possible or I should have gone closer with lots of distracting elements, specially people (and which is surely more tricky to stich to a pan later on).

Oppose Unpleasant distortion, weak light --A.Savin 16:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)- Oppose Nice image and it looks like a lovely place to visit but regrettably I think the perspective distortion is just too weird. It's a good depiction of the location for documentary purposes, but if this is the only way to capture the whole shopfront in one picture, then for FP I'd really prefer to see a single frame focussing on a smaller bit of the street; it would be more aesthetically pleasing.

- Comment - It looks like two of the buildings - Bryggen Besokssenter (apologies for not using the o with the line through it) and Knut Skurtveit - aren't vertical. I assume this is accurate, but I wanted to mention this for your comment. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:19, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
- Regretful oppose per Cmao. Daniel Case (talk) 03:51, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support --Milseburg (talk) 10:51, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Cmao. Maybe a spherical panorama would have been cool at that place instead. --Domob (talk) 10:53, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Cmao -- Fischer.H (talk) 18:21, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
