Downtown San Francisco Skyline

Downtown San Francisco City Skyline, Treasure Island, California Picture: Downtown San Francisco City Skyline, Treasure Island, California

Believe it or not, last week was only the 2nd time that I had photographed the San Francisco skyline. It is such a picturesque scene that I wasn't going to pass up another opportunity to photograph it. My best friend used to live on Treasure Island and I was over there frequently, but I never tried shooting this because I was too insecure back then about shooting "postcard rack" pictures. Nowadays I'm all about enjoying the moment.

My favorite image from the photo shoot was a 180 degree panoramic spanning from Treasure Island over to Alcatraz. It took 13 photos to create the panoramic. There's no way of adequately displaying it on the web without it getting ripped off unfortunately.

Awesome pastels in both the water and sky.

What an amazing shot! You caught the perfect time for this. I think such shots are the reasons why some of us became photographers...!

You are right about those hotlinkers and image thieves. It's really too bad that you can not post anything valuable on the net without being ripped off. Sad, sad, sad. (But please do keep posting at least those small images!)

Thanks guys. It was a nice, cool morning. The local news station had the same idea too and was right next to me filming.

This is sure proving to be a very fruitful trip, in an odd twisted kharmic way. Enjoying your images.

Thanks Gary. Odd, twisted karma is also a reflection on my own life so far apparently.
