I was recently featured[1] in collection #127, and as a long time user it feels really awesome to give back and let others use my work.

I've also been to a few of their NYC meetups and it's clear that the site is backed by an amazing community.

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

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.

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.
