The Veins Into The City on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
Last night I ventured into one of my favorite spots to see if I could finally get a good sunset from this location. I was about another 50 feet down for sunset and I could see the clouds over alcatraz start blowing up, some “epic” clouds and color. started forming. But unfortunately, I was blocked by this dang Bridge and the overgrown trees! Maybe I should have stayed up higher for the above view. I need to clone myself so I can be in more places at once :)
After sunset I came up to this spot to get this close view I have always wanted to get. Once I get a part back for my track I think this spot will be perfect! I still did timelapse though.
This is a 30 second shot with the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II. I have always shot with the 17-40mm and have never liked the star bursts it created. This proves why I got the 16-35, just look at those lights :) I will shows the comparison shots I took in both in later blog post.

I love love love Silver Efex Pro, I have tried for hours trying to mimic this process in Lightroom but I just can’t, Nik takes the cake. Here is another shot from last night at Battery Spencer. Another one for the Gotham Series. -Enjoy!

City of Fog on Flickr.

The sunset I saw last night must have been the most epic sunset I have ever seen. To top off all the color, we had low fog and high clouds. I can’t tell you how many times I have dreamed of this shot. There was too much color! I ran into +David Yu up there who I am sure will be posting some epicness later. I dedicate this photo for Mothers Day!
*Note: If you end up going to this spot be careful and if you feel bad vibes, leave and go to a lower or higher spot. A local photographer friend went here this morning and luckily left the spot cause of bad vibes and went lower. 5 minutes after he left he heard gun shots and a guy was killed. Just be careful as it’s not like the typical touristy spots around the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Bay Lights sure had a beautiful backdrop to this beautiful city.
This is a 3 shot 32bit HDR. I used Photomatix Pro’s, Lightroom Plugin. Then brought it into Nik’s Color Efex Pro 4 to give it some jazz and finished the rest off with Lightroom.

Last night I went to a spot I found out from my buddy TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY. And this was quite the spot in many directions. I did some timelasping, panoramas and so on. City Hall was lit up Blue but it kept going in and out. This one does not show the blue. -Happy Friday!
