8. Thanks! There are some good spots on Yerba Buena Island as you approach Treasure Island.

I took this from the causeway right in front of the entrance to the old Treasure Island Naval Base (now public property). It's a great spot; lots of parking, and there is even a small deli/coffee stand there.

I used a Nikon D5100, with a Nikkor 18-55mm lens, set at 18mm, f/3.5, ISO 100. I originally said that shutter speed was six seconds, but it was actually much slower than that...20 seconds according to the meta-data in Lightroom.

I'm just venturing out into the manual settings on this camera...lots of unusable shots, at this point.
