A pier on Crissy Fields, San Francisco, CA. Alcatraz Island is seen on the background.
It was a rainy Sunday afternoon and the skies were bleak and uninteresting. However just a few minutes before sunset, the clouds parted and the sun shone through. I grabbed my camera and quickly drove up to nearby Montgomery Hill to capture the last light of the day. I used my 300mm lens as the foreground was uninteresting, but decided to do a pano to capture the breadth and colors of the scene.

San Francisco Skyline shot from Twin Peaks. The Salesforce building is now the tallest building in the city.
I used a 3-stop Reverse GND filter cascaded with a 2-stop GND filter in the reverse direction to balance the light across the scene. Shooting at f/16 provided a nice starburst effect to the sun.
