[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Looking across the Bay from the Port of Oakland towards the Bay Bridge and San Francisco. I love walking around this place at sunset and try to get there as much as possible.

For this shot I tried to incorporate some shoreline elements and a tree silhouette for more context instead of just the distant view.

hi vincent,
yes, this is definitely one of your best twilight shots, very sharp, crisp light, great tones and as usual water that looks like glass =)
c.

I think that the composition really works well in this image. The silhouette adds to the photo and actually frames the subject very well. Good job on the exposure as well.

I like the natural framing on the right side of this POV, adding extra contrast and impact. Great warm color and silhouettes, with all the extra detail of the city lights starting to glow in the deepening darkness. I finally found that little pier, but now wonder if the gate to the area gets locked at the end of each day (do you have any trouble getting out of there...hehe)? Excellent shot, and well done, as always:)

Superb lighting brings out the amazing colors of this cityscape at sunset. Your POV is perfect - the bridge and buildings run on a parallel course across the frame. Nice composition - I like your choice to leave in the shoreline and tree to the right. Well done.

I like the two tone style here of orange and black.... A nice view and sharp. You've got so many great views over there in SFO..
Nice photo Vincent.....

Hi Vincent,

I've not had much time for TL lately and I've missed a few shots. I really like this golden one! Beautiful warm feel to the photo. Of course the bridge is awesome at the angle you have chosen.

Keep posting the bridge photos. They are wonderful... plus an incentive for me to get to California one day. Lisa

Hi Vincent,

well done.
