This non traditional landscape was viewed on a rainy day in San Francisco but as we crossed the Golden Gate the sunny side brought out so many beautiful primary colors. Looking at the people and bridge details draws me in.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo of the golden gate bridge was taken from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

Time

It was in the afternoon in on a windy May day.

Lighting

The clouds really blocked the sun with overcast on the San Francisco side but this side was sunny with even lighting.

Equipment

Canon 6d with a 24-105 is a L rated lens. hand held in the wind. Lucky it was in focus the wind was so strong.

Inspiration

When I viewed this angle of the bridge I was intrigued with the strong primary colors that accented this magnificent piece of man made design. If you notice, the fog is between the towers giving it a dimension and depth that is very unique in a daylight photo. Finally, the high degree of focus not only gives amazing detail to the bridges guests but even gives great detail to the little island below. There is just so much to take in the more and more you examine this photograph.

Editing

I did sharpen and saturate this image to my eye. I also leveled the image to a natural state. Notice the bridge is not naturally perfectly even.

In my camera bag

All canon lenses and cameras.

Feedback

Use a f stop that has good depth but do not surpass f11 as it will degrade your image. Take lots of photos!!
