Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

A couple of images from the Canberra micromeet on Saturday night. Some a similar to Willigan and Mr/Mrs ru32day's due the close proximity of each other.
The conditions were pretty ordinary and not really the best - lots of smoke, heat haze and strong winds. As the light faded it was pretty hard to get clear sharp long exposures due to the wind.
Click for larger images.
I really needed a grad ND for this. Just before sunset, conditions on arrival:
From Mt Ainslie Lookout:
What would normally be the postcard view if less windy and murky:
Back down a ground level it was bit easier with longer exposures:

Hi Daniel,
some very nice shots.
I would have loved to be there.
I haven't seen the Memorial and the memorials by night personally; yet.
I like the Nurse's memorial.
I've seen it during daytime; very nice; and at night brilliant.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Regards,
CD

Nice shots there Daniel - you got a bit more out of the lookout pics than I managed & nice colours at the Nurses' Memorial. The horizon on the AWM is a little off tho & a bit too tight on the right.
We'll have to get together for another meet soon, hopefully under better conditions.

Thanks for the feedback.
CD - the Nurses memorial is really an unseen masterpiece. Even at night, it's not visible to the naked eye like this - you need a 10s exposure to really bring it out. Most of the memorials are far more spectacular at night, but hardly anyone sees them then unfortunately (but this makes for a good photo-op as there's no one to get in the way!)
Willigan - yes, you're right re the AWM - I think I corrected this in photoshop, then it took a break in the land of crashes and I somehow missed it on the second go. We'll see if we can organise another meet soon.

Great series of photos at your Canberra meet.
I like the Nurse Memorial colour with your technique, seen it at night before but didn't have the same as of your photo.
Looking forward to meet you again at Barrington Tops photo trip.

That's something I understand completely. Only for me it's more common for Excel taking breaks at work 
Another meet would be great, maybe by the lake or parliamentary triangle? Craig - Canon 350D, EF-S 18-55, EF 70-300
