Evening Panorama, San Francisco and the Golden Gate. San Francisco, California. November 23, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

This image was assembled from five 12 MP full-frame exposures on a Canon 5D. As such, there is a tremendous amount of detail in the photograph that is not apparent in the small jpg image posted here.

Viewing the Golden Gate Bridge, Night. San Francisco, California. November 23, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

As I often do when I arrive at a scene where there are many others photographing the main scene, I decided to begin by photographing the photographers instead. This is a fairly long exposure shot from behind most of the other people who were there to view this spectacular overlook of the Golden Gate Bridge.
