City Lights in Motion: Småstrandgaten, Bergen at Night
This striking long-exposure photograph captures the energy of Bergen's Småstrandgaten at night, looking towards Hotel Bergen Børs. The bright neon signs of DNB contrast against the historic facade of the old stock exchange building, showcasing Bergen's blend of modern and classic architecture.
The sweeping light trails curve dynamically through the frame, created by a bus making its way into Christies gate. Due to the long exposure, only the glowing streaks of headlights and taillights remain visible, adding a sense of movement and vibrancy to the nighttime cityscape. Notably, the pixelated destination sign on the front of the bus can still be faintly seen, a small but fascinating detail that highlights the interaction between digital displays and motion in long-exposure photography.
Above, streetlights cast a golden glow, creating a starburst effect that enhances the composition. This image beautifully encapsulates the pulse of Bergen after dark, where history and modern life seamlessly intertwine.
