Following pics were taken at the Sydney fish market. They were all taken handheld with a 17-85IS on a slightly overcast day. Pics here are all a first hand experience at processing B&W.

i like this most... got warm feel from the sun light.. nice pic guys..

great pictures! love the dead branch

Thanks smelly! That dead branch pic happens to be the first picture I printed at the labs. Got one printed at 8" X 12"

gee..the one with the flowers and tree trunks...isn't it just stunning???
dude..how did you manage to get an effect like the flower??u arrange it in such way and then shoot it??

Thanks earthkid

The flower one is actually a bouquet of flowers taken from the top angle. The lighting was just right so only most of the top part was properly exposed. I also cheated a little by using Photoshop to burn out the other parts as I found it quite distracting from the picture.

nice shots,De_Cruelz

personally,i like #5,Harbour Bridge, and "foggy winter morning",dun know how's the "feel" in colour?

Why not try pics taken with ur 10-22mm?Or u save the best for last?

Thanks myqd! Glad you enjoyed the pics

The foggy winter morning pic looks almost b&w although taken with color. It lacked the impact so I converted it to b&w and I was really surprised how much it improved.

Now I find that I hardly take pics with the 10-22 as it is often too wide for city or walk about use. Most of the time I have my 17-85 on due to its more usable range. The Harbour Bridge and Luna Park pics were taken with the 10-22 though

Here's one taken with the 10-22 at Watson's Bay overlooking the Sydney CBD. You can see the Harbour Bridge from here

damn!your pics are speechless!Another fellow's gallery that i did not notice until now.I went over Sydney last and it was superb!Nice place for photography:) Btw,got any pic of QVB?You are loaded with ammos and add ons la:P

Hey mate! Thanks for the kind comment I've been a member for quite awhile but never really hung out at this part of the forum until recently I stumbled upon it. I posted mainly in OC United back then but have stopped spending on computer parts. I think you can guess where the rest of my earnings have gone to recently

Haven't really taken any pics in the city as everytime i'm there i'm either partying or watching a movie. Too lazy to carry around the equipment especially when the crowd can be quite rowdy during the weekends. Never thought of taking pics of QVB but I guess I will soon! Thanks for the suggestion

Anyway here's one more pic taken awhile back when I was testing the 10-22 with a Cir-Pol

did u adjust hue and saturation?your colours look very vibrant:)
