San Francisco

    Try the bigger sizes.

    It was very overcast this day and I assumed I wouldn't get any usable shots from the visit to the island, but it turned out that the clouds were at the perfect height to bounce the city lights off of them. As I was setting up, the fog was just touching the tops of a few of the buildings and seemed to be lowering, so I didn't take too many shots before it was too low and covering some of them.

      Fantastic shot! Maybe if you cropped it a little, so that the hill to the far left disappeared it would be even better. But this is great nonetheless!

      But then you lose the end of the bridge, and it just goes off into space :)
