Melbourne at Dusk & Night

[Chaase]

A few shots I took at the weekend testing out my new 16-35 f2.8






(perspective correction on this one cropped a bit of the hand

Thanks for looking

#4 looks kinda scary. What on earth does it represent and how big is it?

Enjoy the new toy

Just think, someone got paid allot of money to do these!!!!

I like the Flinders Street Station shot but unfortunately the dome merges with the sky.

I'd like to see that selectively bought out a bit more for impact.

I like all, but the last one. I think that is a
picture that needs daylight.

Bruce, i definitely like the first two images, both i think could be made stronger images with a little extra love in the cropping department. Take the first one, crop 10% or so off teh top and bottom and apply some distortion control, just to straighten up the sides a bit, even if teh crop takes out a bit of teh building top on the left i reckon it will still be a stronger image. Warm it up a bit too, however that could be my monitor.. On the second image, again cropping a bit tighter will give more weight to the bridge in the distance where my eyes end up, but struggle to get any detail.

That last image is a bit freaky

I love the lines in #3, as Bob said the dome merges into the sky a bit, but overall the image is brilliant.

Thank you all for the advice. I have updated the images as follows.

Thats strange both my home and work computers show allot of contrast (time to get a monitor calibrator me thinks) However I have had a play with it
