The Sigma 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye in the CBD...

Some Sydney CBD architecture with the very very wide Sigma 15mm f/2.8 fisheye lens.

Any thoughts on PP, composition, etc?

Just before I got "warned" that I wasn't allowed to photograph this building without prior permission

Square!

and of course it's almost mandatory to try the fisheye out in Angel Place and I was really happy with how this image turned out in monochrome

Lastly The Strand Arcade where I'd been meaning to take some wide or fisheye images for a while. Fortunately they'd also installed this interesting lone tree wrapped in knitted wool of various colours (as part of a campaign for wool)

Oh well you got an image, hate it when that happens.

Overall I am not a huge fan of the "overcooked" HDR look

Photograph "this building" ?

Or from inside the building?

The latter is certainly plausible and reasonable (their building, you're inside it, on their property). But for them to say you cannot photograph the building ... I laugh at their stupidity, and ignorance of the law. From outside the building, if you're on public property, they can go and do their raindance for all I care, and you are free to make photos of anything that you wish to.
