    That's cool. But it's so small it's hard to appreciate.

    15524779-Ti.gif Can you post a link to a larger version, say twice or so?

    Would make for better C&C'ing!

    Nice shot of the Bay Bridge. I have taken a similar shoot, not as wide tho' and from the Marin Highlands.

    It seems to me that with such a wide pano you have undesireable issues that you can't control. The glare of some lights to the left & right, distract from the subject (which I believe is the bridge). What bridge is to the right (San Mateo? or GG)

    The aspect ratio is too wide (for my taste).

    my .02

    I'm going to try wide tonite for the moonrise (@7:47). I have used my 200-400 f4 for moon shots, but I'm going to try my 70-200 and my 24-70, the subject being the city lights with a rising moon.

    Why don't you pop out tonite and try some shots. Moonrises are special.

    I'm coming up from Burlingame.

    You might need to go to 200 - 300mm to reduce the angle of view (I'm gueesing 17 is close to 40 degrees). My read is you're too far away for 17mm for that landscape

    400mm

    It's very difficult (for me) to get the detailed moon shot when the moon is so low to the horizon - too much atmosphere in the way

    Here's a crop ( cropped to remove objectable bright lights) thru the suspension cables of the GG

    Couldn't get the moon & the bridge in my frame.

    Took a few bridge shots
