Skies are generally grey...

1 n 2 are incredible. The depth and color just pulls the viewer in. The flare from the sunlight in 1 is well placed as well.

Thanks... I guess you can only get such dark lighting during Winter... the first pic was pretty much how it looks... Very surreal.. When I saw it through the screen, I thought it looked like something fr a Marvel comic book. ;p

Well the fall is the best season to go out and do landscapes coz the lighting is so diffused. I'm guessing its only early winter in those shots?

Mainly my 400D, kit lens and the efs 10-22mm for the wide angle shots.

No snow right? So it should be about the same as mid fall in the midwestern USA.

Any processing done? I had a look at your flickr site and i have to say you do good work. How much processing was done on the shots of corin? and were those done here?

jiven, you are making tremendous improvements. i'm sure you are enjoying photography well with all the efforts you have put in.

Melbourne CBD has tremendous photo opportunities because of its good mix of buildings from different eras. The lighting is just begging you to get out to take more pictures. Temperatures in winter ranged from 2 to 18 (think A/C) and will peak at around 40 during summer (with lots of flies to swop). I graduated from RMIT too. Stayed there for 5 years.
