Photographed on my late November evening shoot of the San Francisco Bay from the Marin Headlands. As I was photographing the sunset over the Golden Gate I turned my camera east to capture the moon rising over the east bay as the last beam of light reflected off of buildings in the hills.
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.
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.
