Thanks for your contribution! Gorgeous photo. Mind me asking what technical specs went into snapping that?

Eiriksmal's post nailed it. I used the Canon 40mm[1] pancake lens (one of my favorites!) and my 5dMkII. That pic was the final night that I was in California[2]. I took a nap and slept through the time I was planning to go to the bridge, but ended up catching the last few minutes of light.

The little "i" icon in the bottom right pulls up the basic image data: https://unsplash.com/photos/jYYpTndzopI/info

Shot on a full-frame DSLR, the Canon 5D mkII, 40mm, f6 @ 1/320. ISO 160. It doesn't look like any filters were used and the fast shutter speed casts the bridge in darkness while letting the setting sun's colors come through in the sky.
