I decided to try something different (for me). Fitted the camera with my new 50mm f1.8 and decided to do a whole shoot without changing it or resorting to zoom lenses.
Just to take me even further from my comfort zone, I decided to have a stab at urban photography.

Her's some of the results.

The last one is my favourite.
Always good to challenge yourself.

You need to tweak your verticals a tad on 1, 2 + 6 as they are all slightly off, but not enough to look deliberate.

Thanks for the comments.

Jezzy, you have forced me to learn how to straighten verticals ( but hey, that's why we ask for comments).

Is this better?

Nice work there. I like the staircase shot (3) and the next one (4) best. Ms Imp did some staircase shots at the Lyceum a while ago and we keep meaning to go back there sometime - must get on with it!
