The brick building was a shot tower back in the day; used in the making of balls of lead shot. It is now inside the Melbourne Central shopping/office/public transport complex, and encased in the glass cone structure seen behind it.

Thanks. That place is definitely on my list of things to visit, if and when I make it over to your fine country.

All three are really nice but the first really stands out!

Funny, I was really thinking how I liked the 2nd and 3rd most and couldn't decide between them. Art is subjective, great work on all three Crewl1.

I just got it in the mail today. let me know, if im doing anything "wrong"...i actually ordered the Rokinon from BEach camera off Amazon but they shipped me the Bell+howell...i know its all the same glass/build just rebranded, so no biggy.

It is kind of a big deal if they charged you more. I bought my Bell and Howell for cheaper than I could find the Rokinon version.

Nice looking picture, what did you stop it down to?

Try the same shot at 5.6 and 8. Everything really gets sharp. I like the slight softness and HDR combo though, looks surreal. I need to get out the tripod and play with HDR more, great work.

I will try it deffinately and I guess my shot would have been a little bit sharper had I used a tripod :/

Ah that's what is giving that look. Looks cool, the effect is nice. Now I will try playing with HDR without a tripod too.
