This was taken with the kit lens. Seems soft to me but not sure if that is from the lens or possibly the longer exposure. Do cars cause some vibration???

Hey Mark -- I've taken a fair share of shots of the Golden Gate Bridge at night and this is definitely something that happens to me sometimes with regards to the focus looking soft. I think the long exposure sometimes picks up the moisture/fog in the air and softens things up. The bridge also moves pretty good when you are walking on it. More than some people think when you walk across it for the first time.

I haven't taken a shot yet of the brige at night from this vantage point. I like how it lights up the water and the sillouette of the pier . Nice shot.

It IS a little soft. The cars definitely cause some vibration (try walking across the bridge sometime), and this will cause the lights to move, and this will further soften things by making shadows less sharp. Try zooming in and comparing sharpness on the low pier in front of the bridge and the hills in the BG; that will give you a clue.

As for the colors, they seem about right to me, emotionally.
