Narrative:

I wanted to fly a photo mission over the san francisco-oakland bay bridge after the recent earthquake. I personally got briefed at oak FSS and got all flight restrictions. I flew the mission over the damaged portion of the bridge at 1400', 50' below the ATC floor in that area. I was on the 300 degree right, so I was outside the 310-320 degree right restriction off oak VOR. I am afraid ATC might see my 2000/1450' altitude as a violation of the 2000' floor established for the restr area. I did not violate any restriction imposed--neither altitude, airspace nor otherwise.

Title: GA SMA UNAUTH PENETRATION OF NGZ ATA.

Narrative: I WANTED TO FLY A PHOTO MISSION OVER THE SAN FRANCISCO-OAKLAND BAY BRIDGE AFTER THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE. I PERSONALLY GOT BRIEFED AT OAK FSS AND GOT ALL FLT RESTRICTIONS. I FLEW THE MISSION OVER THE DAMAGED PORTION OF THE BRIDGE AT 1400', 50' BELOW THE ATC FLOOR IN THAT AREA. I WAS ON THE 300 DEG R, SO I WAS OUTSIDE THE 310-320 DEG R RESTRICTION OFF OAK VOR. I AM AFRAID ATC MIGHT SEE MY 2000/1450' ALT AS A VIOLATION OF THE 2000' FLOOR ESTABLISHED FOR THE RESTR AREA. I DID NOT VIOLATE ANY RESTRICTION IMPOSED--NEITHER ALT, AIRSPACE NOR OTHERWISE.
