Today's photo was taken recently in San Francisco. That tower you see there in the mid-distance is Coit Tower. Just beyond that, in the middle of the bay, you can see Alcatraz.
I've never made it out to Alcatraz to take photos, but it is on my list. I wonder how much freedom (!) I would have out there to roam around with my tripod. Have any of you gotten out there?

Great shot! I was there a few weeks ago and while I didn't have a tripod with me, I saw other people with them and they didn't seem to have any problems. And you are pretty much free to roam on your own. There were a few areas closed off to access but still lots to explore.

not sure of their rules about tripods, but the tickets to go on the island book up weeks in advance.

You can roam around freely on Alcatraz as others have confirmed cameras and related gear are no problem, depending on the time of year they do close off a section for the nesting birds. Bring layers, even in the summer it gets cold out on the bay and book your ticket in advance it sells out really fast.

You should talk to 4PIZON about shooting at Alcatraz. I believe they hired him to do some photos there and he had a certain amount of extra access to the place, so he might be able to put you in touch with someone.
