I have been working on a consulting project on Yerba Buena Island. Those of you familiar with the BA may not have seen these views. I know in 57 years I have never really explored the island with the Bay Bridge running through it before.

Dan,
These are some interesting views. I thought that the island was closed to non-military staff? Wasn't it a Naval base until recently? I had the chance to go to the island one night with a retired military friend for dinner. I wasn’t able to walk around and view the City and Bay Bridge like you have seen. Thanks for sharing.
These pictures are unique. I think you did a wonderful job of composition. I like how you framed the ship leaving the bay with the trees. The picture from over the tunnel facing west is something not many people view; and many want to see. The side view of the bridge showing the eastern spans I think you did a great job on getting everything in focus. Do you know the specs on the picture (f-stop and length of time)? I’m reading a book on famous photographers of the 20th Century.

Thanx Dolph, I shot all fot these overal several weeks with the s90 set at f8, ISO 400 and with a shutter speed between 160 and 250.
The City is actually taking over the island except for the CG station that will be kept to manage ship traffic on the Bay. I have been hired to assess the trees for hazards and make recommendations. The vision is to create a sustainable village for 6,000 people over the next twenty years. We shall see.

It's a treat to see (and shoot) pictures of SF from a place that is usually inaccessible.
Thanks for posting these.

Have you and Warren thought about combining pictures of the Bay Area into a book or do a showing and call it..... Two Local Guys View and Love for the San Francisco Bay Area.
Both of you get pictures that you don't see from the standard views or tour stops.
