Simply fantastic on this one- incredible sky also with the cloud tops in the distance! Fantastic depth and perspective also! When are you offering your City by the Bay Workshop!

Très belle lumière, beau cadrage aussi avec Bay bridge, moins célèbre que le Golden Gate mais très beau dans cette lumière de nuit

@Marie LC: Je vous remercie pour les aimables paroles, Marie. Et excusez-moi, mais pour votre information - Le Bay Bridge est un autre allant de The Golden Gate. Ce pont relie San Francisco à l'est. The Golden Gate, au nord. Je pensais que vous voulez savoir.

stunning night shot stephen! i'm always impressed with your evening captures...so crisp and awesome!
as for your comment about advertising yesterday, i actually do work in the industry as a project manager!

@peter: Thanks Peter - as to your position - it comes as no surprise. You definitely display that 'finished' eye in your imagery. (keep me in mind if you have need of a left coast shooter or should any of my images fill a spot) - best to you.

This is a really magical image. Stephen - a question: I see you have used a 16mm lens here - I have a 10mm wide angle which I use on my 40D, but on a shot like this I have to make some Photoshop lens correction adjustments for the subjects at the fringes of the photo - do you have to do the same with the 5D and 16mm lens?
5 May 2009 12:08pm
@dobbino: Thanks dobbino - As to your question - usually no. Ocassioally - I have some vignetting that I treat in Photoshop - but it is rare.
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
I enjoy very much looking at this picture of Bay Bridge at the magic hour and with this beautifully illuminated perspective.
