They all look pretty soft in my eyes.

Good subjects on a couple of them.

Good Choice in camera.

A bit lacking in sharpness I'm afraid.

Looking back at them I see what you mean they are quite soft. Any advice on how I might improve my technique in the future?

All the shots apart from the Evil looking bird were shot with the 450d's kit lens, a UV filter and probably polarizer.

I've uploaded a few more shots from the trip as well now,

the beach shots look like barronjoey head / lighthouse views.

i took some great shots from there too when I went.

To be honest I can't remember the name of the place, was it this one?

my harbor bridge pics at night didn't come out at all though.

I used a 20 second exposure with a tripod and release cable to get that shot. Alot of people were shooting the same scene hand held and I can't help thinking they were also dispointed with the results.
I was also lucky they were testing the nye projectors.

PS love the BW opera house shot.

Thanks, I was really happy to get the shot. It was a candid taken on a very busy summer afternoon, I saw the girl sitting on the steps by herslf and just for a second the crowds cleared and I could get just her isolated with the opera house.

I'm sure if I'd gone back in the early hours with a model I could of got a sharper, better exposed shot, but that would be less real to me.
