It's Christmas Time in the city.

[RB]

I took these a couple of weeks ago when I was down in Martin Place in Sydney.
The first four were handheld since I didn't have the tripod with me, so not as sharp as I'd like them to be.

The first four are taken with the Canon 135mm L lens.

The Christmas Tree was taken on another visit there with the 24-105mm L and done in HDR using various exposures and as you can see there was a fair bit of movement since I didn't have my proper tripod for these exposures making it difficult to get a reasonable HDR result.

Anyway just wanted to share.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanks guys, I agree, I like the second one too.
I had positioned myself to get the framing like that, it's special I reckon.



Thanks H, yes didn't have the tripod that night, didn't plan on a serious shoot but had fun walking around the city just to unwind.
