How did you get to 'shoot' the Hells angles?

Did you use a graduation filter on the sydney skyline shot?

looking at your photographs i can only surmise that you have great choice of subject matter and BALLS!

Nice images, Cremorne Point looks particularly nice but the capture of the personalities in the fourth is tremendous

Thanks for the feedback,

There was no graduated filter on the Cremorne Point shot - it was simply the height of the sky. I used a 47mm lens on 4x5 Velvia and since this lens takes in 105º we see a lot of sky and a lot of sea.

The internet, jpegs and screen resolution make for a very level playing field with material of most formats. But here is a 100% detail from the Cremorne shot which may give an indication of the data contained in the film image:

Yes, I love the way the perosnalites come through in that third shot; the guy on the left has a certain arrogance that's delightfully captured.

and 47mm on a 5x4 ..... delicious! :)

I might add that the guy in the middle goes by the name of Grunt! Sort of sets the tone for what's going on.
