I'm still playing around with these but am pretty happy overall

If you don't have a 10mm (16mm effective) lens - go out and get one...... now :mrgreen:

That lens is insane, but you have used it very well. You have shown that, despite the size of our city, it can pale into insignificance compared to the weather we can experience.

The sloping skyline in the 3rd is a little offputting, however.

Awesome shots Dave!!
You're working some magic with that lens along with your keen eye and skills.
I'd be inclined to clone out the binocular thingy in the 2nd image (bottom right).
Thanks for sharing!

Now I know why you were taking so many shots of the 'clouds'. :D
I like the last.

An apocalyptic sky over Sydney.Isn't there a TV station that wants good weather shots to share with the viewers each night? Your pics would get chosen without a doubt.

2nd is strongest out of this set, however there's probably just a tad too much sky. Undestandably the consistent theme was the sky and clouds but maybe you can crop the top off ever so slightly to balance the image out a bit.
