San Francisco Cityscape

[dmichaud]

Hi, I went out to get this shot a few days ago, but unfortunately the fog rolled in right at sunset. So I'm going to go back to this location some night with no fog, it'll be much better with the tops of the buildings. But, I wanted to get some advice before that next shoot.



My question is about exposure. Does this shot look overexposed? It's a 15 sec exposure at f11. Are the car lights (e.g., white line in the freeway, bottom left) and other building lights too bright?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

I think it looks fine. Try again without the fog. You could always try to bracket shoot and then pick the one you like most. TFS

I do think it is a little overexposed, but at the same time I also think we are into the area of personal style rather than any technical issue. If you like it, leave it as it is! Great photo!.

Thanks for the feedback and tips folks. I'm going to try some brackets next time I'm there to see what works best.
