As other's have said, the lighting is quite spectacular and this shows in the excellent colours and the wonderful sky!

Wow. Fantastic shots, Tim. All excellent compositions and nice use of DOF on the first shot.

RR, there is a a bit more detail under the roof but I wanted the high contrast look. (The colour version of number 1 looks fairly flat and boring to be honest)
I suppose I could play about with these with a bit of fill or selective HDR but I don't do much post processing as I haven't really got the time ( or experience if I'm honest). Same reason I haven't fixed the corners of the colour one yet. Thats why the B&W is slightly cropped - it's quicker!
I think the whispy clouds in the B&W number 2 are what do it for me. It just puts a bit more interest in the top left compared to the colour one.
Barrie, I think it's just that the polarizer is almost twice as thick as the normal filter so it shows in the corners at 12mm. I don't have a UV filter for this lens yet but some people do recommend buying the (expensive) ultra thin type, others say it isn't necessary. But the front element does stick out a long way so I'll feel happier when the UV filter turns up.
I think going a bit wider on the left of number one would have helped.
Thanks for looking.

Ouch. Must have been a bluebottle. Not nice. My son visited Manly a few years ago and on one of his beach days he leapt in the water, and leapt out again. He met a particularly nasty jellyfish and he still has the scars to this day.

Cracking blues on this series. The polariser doing it's job well. I wish it was bright enough here for a polariser !
Thanks for the nice comments, Bob. Cracking blues on this series. The polariser doing it's job well. I wish it was bright enough here for a polariser !
I am a sucker for the saturated look that the polariser gives, like that of the slide film days of Kodachrome 64 etc.
