THAT lens - 2/2

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Well it took me a while, but here is part two of my 10.5 DX Nikkor fisheye lens pics taken the weekend of 12/13 Feb. All but the last image were taken inside Customs House at Circular Quay, Sydney. Part 1 of these fisheye images is here.

You are having a blast with that lens aren't you :D 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 :wink:
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 you're probably right Stephen. It is very busy, so I'll consign this one to me duds category.
