It took me a while to decide where to go this evening too, but luckily I thought of this location. :)

This was taken from the east side of the Hawthorne bridge in Portland. You can park somewhere close to OMSI, and walk down to the bridge within a few minutes. Very easy to find and easily accessible.

Excellent cityscape! I would frame this one.

Am I just hungover or is the horizon slightly crooked? Looks like it needs to go CCW a bit.

Nice shot! I'm at OMSI every Saturday but in the afternoon. Need to find a reason to hang out until sunset! ;)

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Thank you!

I leveled the horizon by the buildings across the river and made sure that they are at 90 degrees. Everything else would be deceiving because of the angle of shooting and perspective.

The Hawthorne bridge angle adds to the visual excitement for me. It does tend to toss the composition off angle but it draws the eye into the center and adds a LOT of impact. The colors and reflections are beautiful. Well done.

Care to let us know the gear and settings?

Thanks! I agree about the bridge, without it, I think there would be many elements of composition lost.

Gear: The image was taken with Canon 5D Mk II, Canon 17-40mm, on a Velbon tripod.

Settings: 24mm focal length, 60-second exposure, f/9 aperture, ISO 50. I also had a B+W circular polarizer attached for reflections and color saturation.
The image was processed in Lightroom only for a slight contrast, shadows, and sharpness. No fancy editing at all.

Hope this helps...
