I decided to post one more shot from this fun night. A much longer exposure, different composition and some moody processing.

One of the shots I had in mind during our trip to San Francisco was this shot of the Bay Bridge from Treasure Island. I have seen pics from this location before and in my mind, this was taken from a viewpoint right off of a highway. So, I planned an evening shot from the viewpoint with the view of San Francisco skyline and thought of this location after sunset.
Once we reached the spot, I realized how hard this shot is gonna be. This Spot is on the edge of a narrow two-lane street just before the highway entrance. And to make it more difficult, there is a fence that has quite small links and it was ruining my shots with the 24-70mm. Also, cars whizzing past you at night while you were taking shots didn’t allow time to think. Thankfully I checked the live view screen and noticed that I was shooting at 50mm anyway and had a 50mm f1.8 prime in my bag, so I ran to my car and quickly changed lens and got back taking the shot at f1.8 aperture. The razor-thin DoF didn’t work for a landscape shot so I had to manually adjust focus and this image here is a composite of about 4-5 images stacked for deeper depth of field. I later remembered that the D850 had autofocus stacking feature, but I didn’t know how to set it up at that time. Hopefully next time.

For the past eight years I have been returning to this spot in December. It never gets old (for me) and I hope it's not getting old for you.
I've been off work since the 21st and while I've been doing quite a bit of shooting, I haven't had much time to process any of the new images. This...
