One Lens, One Hour, One Location - Central Station...

I recently gave myself a mini project - one of limitation really - to go out and shoot with just one lens, one focal length for one hour in one location, on a nice overcast day to see what I could come back with. That trip with a fisheye lens to the architectural wonders of the Queen Victoria Building resulted in a handful of images I was fairly happy with - two in particular

I've decided to continue this project and will head out to other architectural locations in Sydney, again with just the 15mm fisheye lens for a maximum of 1 hour and will process the images to a similar monochrome feel as the others with the aim of producing a portfolio of similarly toned images held together by the underlying project theme

Todays location - Sydneys Central Railway Station

Of course feedback, suggestions, etc always welcomed - any worthy? and which ones get binned?

i like #1 rodney. its different and the fisheye effect definitely lens itself to the subject matter

I keep looking at this 1st photo and I like it a lot. I haven't quite figure out yet if it is one photo and its mirror image...

I'm not a fan of the WA distortion but I think #4 works quite well. I admire your B&W conversions and I think you could revisit those subjects and keep refining your vision in relation to them.

I too am not a huge fan of ultra wide lens, but I do like 3 and 5. One hour-one lens makes for an interesting exercise. I will be in Sydney later this week for a few hours and I make take up the challenge myself!
