Nice photos mate. That last one has got me intrigued, great reflection?

Is that old 'Jack Frost' on that pole? Now i know why i don't live in Melb.

These are brilliant, gengi. Love this kinda stuff...just need A LOT more time to play. What lens did you use?

I really like the leaves in the puddle, but #1 has to be my fav! Simple, but damned effective! Nice to see someone has had some rain! :roll:

yeah the third photo is a mosiac of broken mirror shards arranged on a wall. it has many potential..more to follow.

i'm not familiar with 'jack frost'?

stormygirl,
the lens is a 50mm 1.8, great walkabout lens for the D70, IMHO u dont need 'A LOT of time', just things that grab my interest on the way to work..although just means i gotta start walking early1 :)

Genji - #3 is great - couldn't work out what I was looking at until you explained, but I liked it.

Jack Frost is what British people say when we aussies just say frost. Killa is suggesting there's some frozen dew on the bollard.

Genji, I think these are awesome!
How did you achieve the in focus mirror reflection (on the 3rd one) with soft focus elsewhere?

Genji, those are some terrific photos especially number 1 and 3. Number 3 puts me into a headspin.

marcus, i focus on the reflected image and used F1.8 aperture, unfortunately the reflection is not as interesting as the 'effect'

I love #2.
