Your bay area choices sound great.   Please communicate the results =
including film speed and exposure.

I took pictures in the Oakland hills using the sunny sixteen rule and =
bracketing.   I used HP 5 with 1/500 at f16 and bracketed three shutter =
speeds slower and two faster.

  I even arranged for access to the top of an office building =

  Last night was perfectly clear and the moon made the ocean positively =
glow as it rose out of the ocean with the city in the foreground.

  ....maybe tomorrow night?
