This shot has been on my list for some time, but I've been waiting for the holiday lights on the Embarcadero.
I got here a little later than I wanted to because I got distracted by the beautiful alpenglow sunset reflecting on the bay. By the time I walked over to Pier 7, it was nearly dark. I'd like to try this shot again this season when there are some clouds in the sky.
I wanted to use a small aperture for the starring effect on the lamps, but found that most of my shots had weird flares (like the one in this shot), no matter what lens I used. Anyone know why that is? I haven't run into this before.
Canon 5D, Canon 24-70L, f/16 @ 80s, ISO 50. No filters.

Hi Della, its look like lens flare to me. The light is coming in hitting your sensor causing this. I have a shot I took from there last year and I also had some flaring but I cloned most of it out.
