About Drove about 30 miles to the City last night with famous landscape photographer M.Armani without my wallet. No DL.

MA says what are the chances of getting pulled over?

So off we went. Got this image from Marin. North Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge framing the Transamerica Pyramid in the distance.

Hope you have your wallet next time, or let Marcus drive!

Thanks Dave. Yes, it was bad judgement.


Jinggoy Montenejo   {K:7461} 10/22/2006
Thanks Paul! We had a good background since lights from Berkeley Hills were also captured.


Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 10/22/2006
So, Jinggoy, did you end up getting stopped or was Armani right?

Well, I must say, this makes my shots of the GGB look like amateur night at the corner bar. Fantastic. The lighting is just perfect, nothing seems overexposed. And the composition is just as perfect.

I see an award for this one. Great job

Best wishes,
Dave

Hi Jinggoy -

Wow, what a superb image! Masterful composition, and the lighting is just fantastic. Way to go! Congrats!

Cheers,
Kes


Jinggoy Montenejo   {K:7461} 10/22/2006
Lol! Yes, he was right - no cop pulled us over. Thanks Dave. We were both shooting from a tripod, however, I was better equipped for this shoot - I had a stable tripod (with my bag hanging from it),cable release and used MLU. It was windy that night so it helped me a great deal. I just exposed for the light on the bridge.


Marcus Armani   {K:35759} 10/23/2006
Wow this came out fantastic Jinggoy, I love the pyramid within the tower, doing stuff and not telling me LOL, really well composed and perfect exposure, I did get some decent shots technically but like i said my composition suucks:) Hey what happend to your marcus abstract LOL. and I told you the cops dont pull over nice respectable looking fellows such as yourself, If I knew it was going to bother you that much I would have said lets go back....
But we need to hit TI next time, and maybe around the city....
great work...


Jinggoy Montenejo   {K:7461} 10/25/2006
Thanks Marcus! I'll send you the Marcus Abstract, will you post it? Hey- I told you to mount your 400mm and I showed you this shot right? Let's plan on TI next week. Fridays are good for me. BTW, did you get your V3i fixed?

Fantastic view of the bridge with the City in the background, Jinggoy-- I don't think I've seen any photos from this view point before. Great exposure and composition.

Great to see this wonderful photo on the front page, Jinggoy!:)


Toshi    {K:12024} 11/25/2006
A bit late on this on, however, a classic shot of the Golden Gate executed perfectly; especially with where the Transamerica Pyramid is positioned. I love how the towers glow at night, perfect shot Jinggoy.


George Marks   {K:13837} 11/30/2006
Rating systems are irrelevant when applied to images like this. When I saw this decided to go through your entire portfolio to see what your other work was like. Again, I was impressed beyond description. I especially like the way this image conveys the thought that you really put in a lot of thought before even releasing the shutter. The eye in your mind is incredibly sharp. Now I have two questions: (1.) Did you meter this separately from your cameras metering system? And (2.) Did you get pulled over?


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141852} 11/30/2006
So lovely to see this on the front page, Jinggoy!:)


Swapna Chatterjee   {K:623} 12/1/2006
Dear Jinggoy,

Regards.


Jinggoy Montenejo   {K:7461} 2/7/2007
Hi, sorry for the really delayed response. I just used the camera's metering system and we were not pulled over - will definitely not do it again. Thanks for the message.


GREGORY J. MCLEMORE JR.   {K:826} 4/6/2007
I love SF.
Your shots are making me excited about my trip up there next month.
Great scene.
God Bless

Powerful composition and orange tower color on a multitude of fuzzy lights in the background and other tower buildings in between.
Strong lines towards and surrounding the orange tower (a bouns: the other illuminated tower within).
Congratulations
Best regards, Jan
