Gorgeoous! Those I had to go back and savor each image for a while after the first viewing

I think #3 is my favorite... great colors and contrast, just really enjoy the look of that one.

Is #3 with the fisheye (de-fished or cropped in the center)? And did you use any filters for the longish exposure, or just stop down for it? Sorry to pick apart with questions... I ask only because I just got done with my first extended vacation shooting with the X-E1, and I'm seriously considering the fisheye for something wider than the 14mm, at least until the 10-24 is out.

Hi, looks from exif that it was my 8mm Samyang.............although I have no memory of using it for that shot. Must have defished in LR. Nice lens eh?

Sure is! I had the Samyang 7.5mm FE for m4/3 briefly but didn't end up using it enough to keep it. But with focus peaking on the X-E1 making it easier to use manual focus and it being the only super wide option right now, it's tempting to pick one up again

The colors and sharpness of your images galore,
I am dazzled by your photos, Pete ... never a bore.

These are really well done and I simply cannot pick a favorite. Great job!

Hi again all. #1,2&3 were taken from our hotel room on 23rd floor of the Shangri La Hotel in Sydney. No 4 was from just above the Sydney royal Botanical Gardens and 5 was taken from near Sydney Harbour Bridge

Thanks again

Pete
