High Street, Comber

As you can see, another dull day, however I am continuing to experiment with a 90mm lens, which I have not been used to using for well over a decade.  I do like the compression, even with 90mm, and interesting to make a comparison with the same shot taken with a 50mm lens.

As for the photograph, the following is a little background taken from a heritage web site: 


Almost entirely devoid of ‘architectural features’ apart from simple doorcases, the simplicity of these houses is very characteristic of vernacular building in Ulster, but has rarely survived in an urban context.  The site was occupied by 1722, when High Street was known as Cow Lane, although the present houses were probably built about 1800, possibly for workers at the Comber Distillery.
