[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
San Francisco as seen from the Port of Oakland one evening last December. For this shot I zoomed in a bit more than the previous shot in this series, going in for a little more detail. I was also trying to focus more on the city and less on the foreground than the previous shot.


Shot in RAW, White Balance adjusted & Sharpened.

Hi Vincent,

Wow! You certainly need to open the thumbnail to appreciate this beauty! Blue is my favorite color, and you have certainly given me blues of various shades. All of the lights, the buildings, and of course the bridge all make for a terrific night shot.

I've never tried night photos such as this, so thanks for the inspiration!

thanks for sharing this beauty,

Lisa

Another great shot of the city, Vincent, and one that captured the time of year that the lighted outlines of the buildings show in the skyline. The blue cast works well, and the clarity is excellent. Bravo!

Very good control of the long exposure. The luminosity is perfect with that dark blue night sky and all the lights reflecting on the water. Real stunning photo.

Magical!!!!
Claude

very good angle of view
excellent photo.

Hi Vincent
Great Photograph. The sharpness and colors are incredible. Excellent POV!!

I lived across the bay from SF for 6 months and fell in love with the place. This photo brings back to me all of it's beauty. I like how the lights of the city are reflected in the very calm surface of the bay. This photo has the effect of making the city look very futuristic. Very well done.
