So near ....... yet so far .....
Taken from the walkway at Pier 39, Fishermans Wharf San Francisco - looking out at Alcatraz - it's bright light shining .... so near, yet so far ....

tv30, f8, iso100, 70-200 lens, tripod, mirror lockup and cable release

I kinda liked how the boats were rocking in the slowly moving waters.
Have a great weekend everyone!

  GREAT shot Renee, with terrific lighting and composition! I love to open a photo and instantly recognize the scene, as I certainly did with this. What a clear San Francisco night! And I absolutely love that "star" of light, out there on Alcatraz. Superb!

  Outstanding night shot Renee! Love the contrast between the sharp details of the buildings and the motion blur of the rocking boats.

  Pure gold...the golden highlights on the water(and overall golden tone) are absolutely stunning! The clarity and detail of every little light is fantastic! Gorgeous, Renee!

  Another excellent night shot. Fantastic details. I like the action of the boats which were rocking giving a blur effect. Well done Renee.
