Bay Bridge Lighting

San Francisco view map

Well, perhaps only half of the the San Francisco portion of the bridge...

I met up with Bryan Murahashi this evening to try to catch the LED lighting
on the Bay Bridge. We first tried from Treasure Island but that view was not
the best. You definitely have to go over and see this from the Embarcadero.
Pier 14 is a great place to look at the new lighting on this bridge.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II ,Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM
1s f/2.8 at 45.0mm iso100 , tripod, mirror lockup full exif

I love how you make the pier converge with the bridge...even if it's only half of it! Yes, I have also tried Treasure Island view and it doesn't have the right angle to get the lights. You did a great job here!

Great comp Sam - nicely place subject. (Though LEDs might not be the best choice as I read about their wavelengths and the effects on the human eye.)

This is superb, Sam! I hadn't heard about LED lighting on the Bay Bridge nor am I familiar with Pier 14 (and San Francisco is my hometown!), but it all looks beautiful. Reflections are excellent as well. V.
