Today I begin my photos from Pier 39 (and from my walk to there). These photos will include some long exposures, landscape shots, and a few flower and insect photos.
Some flower photos I shot on Kearny Street on my walk to Pier 39. As I said above in my introduction, there are some free 2 hour parking spaces at the end of Kearny Street. This is the first place I go to look for parking when heading to Pier 39.

Super long exposure at the head of Pier 39. Photo took me 5 minutes and 40 seconds. Used 2 ND filters to achieve blur.
People on Pier 39.
20 second exposure on Pier 39. ND filter used.
Photography Tip: Use ND filters to slow down your shutter speed to achieve long exposures even during day time. They are great for blurring out moving things (especially people). Just make sure you get a good brand such as Hoya or B+W as cheaper brands can make your picture blurry, and sometimes may even cause a color cast. The brand I used in these shots are all from Hoya. Also as with all long exposure shots, make sure you have a steady tripod.

Didn't feel like watching magic, but still took a photo. Thought the stance the performer took was nice.
A photo of Alcatraz Island I shot with my telephoto lens. Lost a lens cap taking this picture, but lucky for me, knock-off ones on Ebay is fairly cheap. XD I put the lens in a Ziplock bag after getting home and got a new lens cap off of Ebay for like $2.
These are all the photos for today. I hope you have enjoyed viewing them. Next time I will have sea lion and bird photos from Pier 39.
