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).

This is a great spot where you can get a pretty decent view of the big tall pointy TransAmerica Pyramid building and the Bay Bridge.

Half of me was expecting ET to fly by, but I knew that wouldn't be possible without a full moon so I gave up trying to look.

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.
