Night Skyline of San Francisco

Description


I was frustrated not being able to shoot a sharp night scene on the edge of Treasure Island. I don't know how many shots I took. "Damn, I need a cable release!" Then a police man came to me and said "You are lucky. It's usually cold and windy around here. You've got beautiful lights and the moon." I guess this is a lucky one.

ISO=100, F8, S10", FL62mm, Aperture Priority

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 100/10 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 62.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

Holy carp!! (yes, carp as in the fish) That is beautiful, that must be a VERY lucky shot - I love all the lights in the city, they are so spectacular, and the dark around the moon - amazing eye you have!! Keep it up!!

I agree with all the above - just extra-ordinarily beautiful, not luck, meant to be. Yes, purchase an cable release, not pricey at all. #5215017

I have never seen a blurry phot of yours Alex. You are not supposed to open up any Christmas packages as yet.
