Well, apparently there is more in Melbourne than just the cricket at the 'Gee.

These are some shots taken on New Years day around Parliament House & the Museum.

I am not 100% happy with the masking attempts to get more detail in the sky, but still playing.

C&C welcome





I have deliberately blown the sky in this one...



This one shows undisciplined use of the lasoo tool in PS...(oh, and who says dust bunnies can't fly? )



Cheers

(PS. I have become a big fan of B&W during our trip to Melbourne, so much so that I bought some 3200 ISO B&W Ilford film to play with high grain!)

I love the 3rd shot; the high "contrast" works great

Thanks for the feedback - I was happy with the initial shot, but thought it lacked punch. I must say the architecture in Melbourne is generally more photogenic than Sydney's, apart from our key buildings and structures (SOH & Harbour Bridge).

Did you get any of the picture-grotesque yarra?

I like them, possibly clone out the telstra and other tall building over the royal exhibition building courtyard?

Looks like the melbourne museum entrance is a good place to take my fisheye

very nice patrick hope you enjoyed your stay in Melbourne.

Thanks guys. Oz - good idea about cloning out the other buildings.

We got up early on Saturday and walked along the track from Fed Square almost to the MCG. However, all the photos I took were on the f90x. My wife was using the D200.

Wayne, we had a great stay in Melbourne - we like the city more and more each time we go there (especially drooling at Camera Lane & Camera Exchange!).

Camera Exchange was remodelled a couple of years ago, and now isn't half as good as it used to be.

Love #3 - the strong blacks and whites really make this shot and emphasise the strong lines in the awning exceptionally well.

Thanks Peter. I printed that photo off and I am happy with the results.

Cheers
