I so wish i had the 12-24 lens. The kit lens is nice but i would love that extra width to expand my creativity and change my composition. But i am saving up for one. :)

Steve,
Very very nice pics that you got today.
I like the one in black, perhaps we have to go back to the old dark room.
Thanks for sharing.

The old square format, Hasselblad 6 x 6. The square format is known as the "classical" format. Its easier for "neat and in the midle" because the middle is easier to find. Nice shot Killa! It has authority.

Your photos are really good. The black and white Harbour Bridge is my favourite. There is plenty of interest and I bet it looks good at 800 by 600 screen resolution!

Thanks for sharing also

Matt, you crack me up :lol: :lol: :lol:
Of course, the true middle can only be found in the very rare circular format.


Great shots killa, and yes, #1 is excellent, but the others are very good too. You have managed to minimise the "public place" look of them, well done.
