I was lucky enough to visit New York City recently and capture this long exposure! Tell me what you think
I have been wanting to get to this view of the Oakland - San Francisco Bay Bridge for months now. I had this constant nagging feeling that just wouldn't go away. I just had to have it! I kept thinking I was going to do it but then talked myself out of it due to possible legal troubles and maybe even serious bodily injury. So finally I gave in to the "self pressure" and went for it. It wasn't easy making my way down the soft steep hillside, but it was well worth it for this view. Once I got to this spot the burning feeling I had in my knees from the controlled (maybe not so controlled) slide down was quickly replaced by the adrenaline that set in. It really was more than I had imagined it to be. I stopped and just looked for a minute, almost forgetting why I made the trip in the first place. So after a minute or two I setup and ran through a few different compositions and exposure settings, all the while taking in the the view of the bridge and the city.
I want to say thanks to the Granz's Cam for helping me get this image.
Measuring a length of 1,141 feet and 101 feet at its highest, the bridge is the 2nd longest of the Valley viaducts spanning the floor of the Shenandoah. The current structure #631 replaced its predecessor at the same location in 1918. US Route 340 parallels the structure and in 2012 was realigned closer to the bridge eliminating a very scenic open field location.

This image is from a trip to Yerba Buena Island to catch the sunset colors do what they do in the atmosphere. It was a soft one with somewhat pastel coloration and the bay was calm enough to pick up the color and send it up to the camera.
I met another photographer on the way back up who was diligently working on a blue hour shot.
Yes, there was a sea fog at the Golden Gate Bridge but it stayed quite thin and then evaporated. So, no need to high-tail it across the bay.
Thanks, as always for your support!
The iconic Piazza San Marco at dawn. Got up early and thanks god for giving me a fabulous morning and light.
This 3,030 foot long bridge is 876 feet above the river below.
The road to the bottom of the gorge had not been plowed after recent snows, so we were limited to this view.
Hopefully the semi-truck gives a little perspective here.
