After lighting the foreground, I ran up to the tower to pop my strobe (with blue gel filter) a few times. Glow of the sky provided by the lights from the Golden Gate Bridge.

Alvin Tenpo > Golden Gate Bridge from Battery Spencer

One of the most iconic locations in San Francisco is the Golden Gate Bridge from
Battery Spencer in the Marin Headlands.

Shoot it during the "Blue Hour", bring a tripod for best results.

There were people stablizing their cameras on fence posts and getting
pretty good results.

It's hard to go wrong shooting at this scene at the right time.

Alvin Tenpo > Shot in the Dark

Long exposure, combined with high ISO. The night was quite dark. The hills
were lit from lights from the Golden Gate Bridge and distant San Francisco.

Alvin Tenpo > Graffiti at Military Battery near Kirby Cove

Found another military battery near Kirby Cove Campground.
From the campground, I followed some social trails that led me to
this battery.

I felt like an archaeologist discovering petroglyphs
of a lost civilization. It was fascinating and
creepy at the same time.
