This is one view - shot without exposure compensation and using the 28-70mm f2.8 lens. Another view, maybe even more spectacular is at http://www.pbase.com/mkrauss/image/110474751

The pilings in the foreground make this shot something special. At the opposite end of the Embarkedero from her more famous sister, the Goldengate Bridge, this view of the Oakland Bay Bridge is often overlooked. I'm pleased with myself for having seen this gem after having been blind to it for so many years and now often return to see what else I've missed. Technical challenges - use of tripod and timing the shot so that no boats/ships pass through the shot while exposing and large truck headlights are not visible in midspan. Catching and balancing the lights of Oakland reflected in the clouds and the bridge lights reflected in the bay while the pilings were illuminated by the sidewalk lighting behind me and not having my shadow or the camera/tripod shadow in the image was also challenging.
