This image was a lesson in paying attention. I was up shooting close to the Twin Peaks overlook (you can find it in my travel guide) and I thought to myself…”self, next time you are up here you will have to coordinate with another person to stand on top of that hill down there.” Just as I said that, myself quickly said…”hey, quit talking to me and pay attention. Someone is standing on top of that hill!” The light wasn’t great, but I had enough shape and contrast in the scene to make it work.
Photographer’s Note: I shot this image using my trusty Nikon 28-300 VR. It really is the ideal travel lens. I actually ran it through a field test in San Francisco. If you are interested in the results you can read my review of it here.

Nice shot, Justin! I have a print of this SF panorama taken from Twin Peaks above my desk and it’s been interesting trying to figure out how you got this shot. You must have been rather lower than I was and significantly further to the left (from my viewpoint’s perspective).
That is awesome Dave! Yep, you are spot on. I rode the bus up there and never made to the towers. I shot this image just down the hill near the water tank.
That looks like one awesome view of the city line. Nice job here.
Great image Justin. I love the light separation of the foreground and background.
