Before I get started on the long exposures I shot at dusk and night, I would like to tell you about a photography tool I used to help me shoot all of these long exposures you see in the following of this blog post. It is called the Polaroid Selfie Disc. While the name suggests it is a device only helps you shoot selfies, the devices does a lot more than that! The device is pretty much a quarter sized dongle that you hang from your DSLR that will allow your phone to act as a Bluetooth wireless remote trigger for your DSLR. After clipping the device to your DSLR and hooking it up to your phone, you can wirelessly trigger your camera shutter from your phone (which is an obvious feature you'd expect), but the app on the phone will also help you do bulb and time lapse shots! You can definitely just use a regular intervalometer or a wireless shutter release, but it adds extra bulk to your carry. This small dongle is about the size of a quarter and hooks up directly to your phone (which you would be carrying either way). I definitely recommend you check out the Polaroid Selfie Disc if you take a lot of photos or are a professional photographer. It is a must have for your photo bag!

On my way back down to the parking lot near Torpedo Wharf, I did one last night photography shot of the Golden Gate Bridge from Presidio. It looks a bit grainy because I was tired and cold and didn't want to wait too long for the exposure, so I used ISO 1600 for this shot.
