You are having a blast with that lens aren't you

Can't blame you as you have had some great captures.
The vibrance of the first with the white floors is excellent, the leading lines of the last I like best.

Peter - my thoughts on this lens are that you have to be more creative than with any other lens. In this context I feel that the last pic is brilliant and suits this lens admirably.

Thanks for the post Peter the last shot reminded me where my interest in photography originated. This building was designed by my late uncle along with many other buildings that were 30 years ahead of their time. Brian Gaston was also a renowned water colour artist.
My interest in photography came from my many failed attempts at oil and water colour painting .I remember some of my uncles photos that he used as inspiration to paint and these photos remain in my head after 30 years. LOZ

Thanks you all for your comments.
Loz - that building is very interesting architecture. It's also where the street sculpture of a man reading the paper in one of Matt K's rececent pics is located

#1,2 and the last are great images that have been well crafted with, it seems in recent times, your weapon of choice and one which you wield extremely well Peter
cheers

And going by the thunderous silence I guess all my PP agonising to get the B & W right was wasted. There's a valuable lesson there. If it's a dud colour pic, no amount of PP can make it a great B & W shot.

I think the B@W is just too busy and you have to actually study it to work out what it is Peter,I love the rest though

I think you're probably right Stephen. It is very busy, so I'll consign this one to me duds category.
