San Francisco Light Show

DSC_4748stackB.jpg

... The type of light show that happens every night in San Francisco. View from the Battery Spencer overlook by the Golden Gate Bridge. Features light trails from cars, boats, planes, and stars.

This is a composite of photos taken on my Nikon D7000, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.

So many types of trails can be confusing. Here are a few tips for beginners:

  • Car light trails are color-coded: white indicates approaching vehicles while red indicates departing vehicles. Never walk directly in the middle of either color.
  • Boat light trails typically occur on or near a body of water. Those allergic to water should avoid these trails.
  • Airplane light trails lead to high altitude. Do not attempt these trails unless you know how to fly.
  • Star trails go around in big circles. Pick a direction and you'll eventually end up back where you started.

Star trails are my favorite. I love following trails that take me back to where I started, especially when I'm not expecting that to happen! So much fun.

Super cool picture, too. Now I really want to visit San Francisco.

Thanks @brandt, glad you liked it! This is one of my favorite types of photography, partly because the long exposures give you time to sit back and enjoy the scenery.

Amazing shot!! May I ask you the exposure time of this shot?

Ah, and your blog is awesome, upvoted and following you ;)

Thank you @asgarth, I appreciate it! This is a stack of 81 images, each a 25 second exposure.

Followed you as well, you have some great work!

Wow, the result is really impressive...

How long of an exposure is this? Great work!

Thank you! It was about 40 minutes, 81 images stacked.

Great work. Even better looking the second time and having stood in that exact spot on a couple occasions myself!

It's a really great spot to watch the sunset. I was treated with an amazing moonrise as well!

very nice

Thank you!
