San Francisco Bay Area Photography

Another night shot from Point San Pedro, San Rafael looking westward.  Around 11 pm, there isn’t many place where you can get a shot of Mt. Tam.

It was tricky to find a place without direct light – I left shutter open over 2 minutes – any direct light would glow too much and take over the picture.

Manual mode with f/8 (typically the sharpest point for lens).

Third time is not a charm with this picture.  Third try and I still can’t get a good shot of the city.  This is taken on Mariposa Street over-looking 280 on March 25, 2008.

This was taken with Nikon D300 and 50mm f/1.8D. Manual mode, f/11 at 20 seconds.
