Having lived in the Bay Area for nearly four years now, I finally managed to get out and take some pictures of the city during the evening hours.
This one was shot near the Embarcadero at Pier 1 showing the famous Bay Bridge, which I think is actually a lot prettier than the Golden Gate Bridge... but whatever. I'll soon make my way down that way too.
24-70@24mm f/4.5 25s ISO200.
I would have shot at a smaller aperture, but f/4.5 was able to get me just under 30 seconds before using the bulb setting (I forgot my remote).

Welcome to San freaking Pedro

Shot 10 minutes after sunset on the island town of San Pedro. I was out on a dock and set it on the ground (no tripod). Plus the dock was the only place to get away from mosquitos.
24-70@24mm f/4 8seconds @ ISO 500 (for added dynamic range) + circular polarizer. vignetting and border added in Photoshop.

This was up the center of the Plaza at Powell in San Francisco (a mall). Heading up the escalators you can tilt your head over and almost see the top — but not quite. I adjusted some settings on my camera, threw it on manual focus, then stuck my arm out and took a blind chance at a photo. Turned out pretty fun :)

Yes — It's that time of week again. It finally rained in Mountain View for the first time in ages. Many leaves fell today, but those that remained were subject to shooting.
