Golden Gate Bridge at night

This is the Golden Gate Bridge at night which is recognised by many people internationally. It's one of the world's most beautiful bridges and when people think of San Francisco they think of this bridge. The image is on the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay Area and San Francisco, California articles. I chose to put up a picture from an evening environment since most are from daylight and this would be a great change. Thanks to Daniel Schwen for uploading such a beautiful image.

The thumbnail looks promising, but the high res picture is disappointing: very ~~grainy~~ and slightly overexposed. Phils 22:15, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

After reading the subsequent comments, I guess I should have taken the technical difficulty of the shot into account more. However, even as a night shot, I don't consider this picture exceptional. The long exposure makes the water look very unnatural (almost like snow), and the (car?) lights further up the bridge seem too bright and clogged. Phils 10:31, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Water looks more like wet concrete or blacktop than snow to me :P --Wulf 19:50, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say it was very grainy, but a bit more sharpness would probably make this a really great image. Raven4x4x 04:57, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
I like this. To me, it doesn't seem to be particularly grainy for a long exposure night shot.PiccoloNamek 07:08, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
Yeah night shot is not easy to keep down noise. Good photo --Fir0002 08:58, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- I love the fact that the picture was taken at night, it makes the shot seem more romantic somehow. TomStar81 04:41, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
