City by the Bay



This image was taken a few weeks ago. I went up to Sibley park in the Berkeley hills and set up a tripod. Originally, I was disappointed that the horizon was not as clear as it had been a few days before. However, I was happy to see the light ray effect as the sun set over the fog bank. Can you hear the angel chorus in the background?

I was playing with a lot of manual adjustments during this photo shoot. (I'm still learning the in's and out's of the D70s). One thing I think I will have to remember in the future is to turn off the auto-ISO setting when I want to shoot dramatic low-light stuff. Leaving it on tends gets you ridiculous ISO values (1600+) and grainy blacks.
