View from the Headlands

Please note: This image is protected under copyright laws and cannot be printed or reproduced without my prior permission

View of the Golden Gate Bridge and the City of San Francisco from the Marin Headlands in Sausalito at night. I tried to bring a wider shot in but my Tamron 17-50mm lens can only go that wide.

The curved light trail in the sky to the right made by a small plane flying above the city, with some stars captured above it.

Anyway, in the past few days I have been seeing a lot of amazing Canon EOS 60D shots on Flickr stream and it got me thinking about moving up to EOS 60D. Is it too early to ask Santa for one? :)

    Thank you, Vivianna MarcAnthony and Jude !

    - get back there and shoot! I know I will be going back for a blue hour shot or a sunrise shot - the view from up there is worth the $7 toll I have to pay just for this (hope they won't raise the toll any further, though!)

    It’s a very elegant presentation of the GGB at night. Are the roads around the Marin Headlands lit well at night? They are so curvy, and sometimes narrow, I recall.

  17. S Ty Photography (4 months ago | reply)

    Thank you, !

    - the roads are NOT lit but the headlight should provide ample illumination. Also, there's always some night tourists shooting up there, so its all good! :)

    Awesome!

    Excellent night shot, Stew! You even captured star detail, as well as that cool arc. I have a GGB image with an arc, too. The overall exposure is really very good.
    p.s I very much apprciated your Yosemite comment, Stew.

    Nice shot! I'm headed out there for vacation this summer. I take it the roads up there are open at night huh? So many parks close at sunset now. :-(

  31. daniel wildi photography (4 months ago | reply)

    great shot!

  32. S Ty Photography (4 months ago | reply)

    Thank you, !

    - I think they close at 10 pm so you can replicate this shot (or even better) :)

  33. gainesp2003 (4 months ago | reply)

    Wow! Really nice shot - a classic look at SF! I grew up in Sacramento and we used to go camping up at Mt. Tamalpias. I always loved the view from there looking back down at the city. This shot brings me back home!

    Beautiful night capture! I tried to head up to this spot the morning I went, but the fog became too thick to see past my parking spot. :-/ (and it was NOT the awesome kind of fog).

    It seems like everyone's upgrading cameras these days. I don't think it's too early at all to bug Santa. :)

  41. melfoody (3 months ago | reply)

    This is definitely better than mine! When I see this it makes me realise that the white balance in mine is completely messed up.

  42. Khalid.Amin (3 months ago | reply)

    Wonderful shot...i love the composition, and a great work in low light.

  43. S Ty Photography (3 months ago | reply)

    Not sure how I overlooked this piece of art, but better late than never. An instant fav. :-)
