Just Another Bay Bridge Night Shot from Treasure Island

anonymouscuban

This was my third attempt at shooting the Bay Bridge at night. I shot this last Friday night. I tried the previous Monday and Wednesday but both days were too windy so got really shaky shots. This nigth was very still and clear. Good thing because it was my last night in San Francisco.

This is a stitch of 21 exposures, all 20 sec @ f/16.0 and ISO 200.

I used a 70-300mm Nikkor VR lens that I borrowed... not ideal but the only long lens I could get my hands on as I have yet to buy one. I shot them vertically to get as zoomed in as possible.

The pano actaully spans a bit further, from the beginning of the bridge all the way to the Golden Gate but I cropped this one as I have not had time to process the full shot and clone the empty parts.

C&C is welcome.

This is a great pano! The exposure is right on. Just enough water to show the beautiful reflections. When you get time I would love to see the rest of the pano to the Golden Gate. I am heading to San Fransicso for an overnight stay this weekend and want to try some night shots of the city and bridges. From posts on dgrin I have a few ideas of where to shoot from. I just want the weather to hold.

Well the weather has really been hit and miss here in the north bay. Good luck.

Great pano. I am also waiting to see the full version.

Another sweet shot from Treasure Island.

Well done. It pays to revisit a spot.

I noticed that Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill was lit up in red.
I didn't know they did that.
