It was a beautiful, warm, balmy night. The air was clear and we could smell the sweet perfumed flowers in the gardens behind us. The city was at its charming best. The D70's worked their magic.

The camera in the cityscape was from an original idea by Thaddeus.

I think the last one is my favourite, great seeing members out doing what they enjoy and doing it together. I also like the #4 shot, postcard background with the camera in position in the foreground (I have a few similar, but with different backgrounds).

#1 is streaks in front of the others. It has a fantastic narrative feel, beautiful clean lines and a lovely dusky, pastel exposure.

#5 and #6 are also nicely captured

#1 is just so superb I'm speechless. If that's me in the bottom left hand side, I'm spoiling your photo! You know I was always quite happy to get out of the way. Just ask me to move or give me a kick up the backside! I respond to both. :)

That's my camera in #4 everyone! Have a look, it's famous! Again, I would have moved it, but I think you might have wanted it in your shot. Looking at the shot it wouldn't be hard to clone the camera out. I really like the exposure in #4. Often the pylons of the bridge come out garishly yellow/orange in night photos, but not in this shot.

#5 I really like. It's so different to mine. Probably different metering, I don't know.

Looks like I managed to get out of your way in the last photo, but who are all those other people? :shock: :D

Thanks for the images Matt K.

I in particular love the last shot.

It makes me realise what I am missing living a thousand miles from knowwhere. Not that I want to move to the city, you can have that. Just an example of a group of people sharing their hobby or illness. Much like the guys at the pub every day :lol: :lol:
