The Pyramid by MatthiasJanocha

San Francisco - the city by the bay. In the center of the photo, you see the Transamerica Pyramid, which is the tallest Skyscraper in San Francisco (853' height). Behind it to the right is Coit Tower and Alcatraz. On the left side of the frame, where the sunset lits the sky orange, is Golden Gate Bridge. I just love this view and think that it's one of the best vantage points for San Fran skyline photography. via 500px http://j.mp/1lnoNac

Transamerica Pyramid 2 - http://j.mp/1jbFQts View LARGE here: http://j.mp/1qSTKXs This is a 30 second exposure of the amazing Transamerica Pyramid building in San Francisco, California. The clouds were scudding over the building and I felt that using a 30 second exposure would give the sense of a flock of birds flying overhead, as I often see with Canadian Geese in Vancouver. I'm really happy with the result, as it turned out just as I had hoped. It's very gratifying when vision, composition and processing work in beautiful harmony :-) Happy Friday everyone. The techie stuff: Sony A850 D-SLR Zeiss 24-70mm Lens ISO: 100 Aperture: f/8 Exposure: 30 seconds Focal Length: 60mm Filters: Hitech Pro 10 stop ND filter and Lee 3 stop ND filter via 500px http://j.mp/1ivT7jI

Giant Victory by whuang

During the 2012 World Series I managed to make it up to SF to shoot the skyline while it was draped in orange trim. I opted for a different viewpoint from the typical, one where I could focus on the rarely orange-lit Transamerica beacon. Just as I was preparing to shoot blue hour, the marine fog made an unexpected inland push. Though not quite what I had envisioned, the half covered city during sunset made an interesting scene as buildings stuck out above the fog. via 500px http://j.mp/1iTpFlp
