Holiday Lights, San Francisco Waterfront

This photograph was made from the east side of Treasure Island, in the middle of San Francisco Bay. This is a classic location for night shots of the San Francisco skyline, and on this night I stopped as I headed back from a winter solstice event at Muir Woods knowing that the holiday lighting would make the view special.

While I was there I also shot a multi-exposure panoramic stitch of the scene:

This is perhaps my favorite San Francisco photograph. Even though the scene is well known, this image was created it a way that permits rather large prints. I currently have one that is about 3 feet wide and it could go much larger.

Believe it or not, but this photo was made during lunch hour on a weekday – a very busy time in San Francisco. I managed to catch an unusual lull in the pedestrian traffic; my other photos of this general scene include many people.
