Jon - I don't think the high ISO has done it many favours as there is a lot of noise visible in the gradients. perhaps a low ISO/bulb exposure with no IS would have worked better on a tripod. very nice colors though.
I like the view of SF on this photo. It's so unique. And love the lights of course! Makes the whole city and area just sparkle. I agree with Phil about the graininess, but it's a awesome photo anyway! And the sunset, well, that's always special here on the West Coast!! Verena
I used to live in Redwood City, just south of San Fran. Except for the noise this is a stunning image. Sure brings back memories, thank you for this lovely cityscape. ♪ ♫ :)sandi♪ =^..^=
