I didn't have my tripod with me in San Diego so this shot was made from an improvised base.
My friend Byron poked around and found two 5 gallon pails that he stacked on each other.
The camera was set atop the buckets and the 30 second image you see was made.

Nikon D3 ,Nikkor 28-70mm f/2.8 ED-IF AF-S
30s f/6.3 at 28.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Beautiful shot! The fact that the exterior of some of the buildings is dark adds interest. V

Wow! The amber color of the lights really came out great. It's funny how the small colored light sorces really show up large in the water. You should sell versions of that tripod!

Beautiful... I remember that Skyline from when I was in the Navy Back in 1980.

a magnificant image Mark! love the colors

Keeps getting better and better!
I kind of like the silhouette on the lower right to anchor the foreground.
The only nit is that the golden tone is a bit strong...
