Golden Gate Bridge IV & V

Revisited the Golden Gate Bridge again recently. "I feel" my captures are getting better and better each time. Maybe it's my focus is getting sharper, maybe it's my location or the clouds in the sky. I do know for sure that I'm understanding post processing a lot better but they also go hand in hand. Post processing can only help so much if the capture is not ideal.

Looking back at many of my previous captures of the Golden Gate Bridge, I can see progression in quality.  With this set I almost like both of them equally.  I like the sharpness of the towers in first image at the same time I like the slight softness to the second. Kinda gives it that dreamy look without going over the top where the colors come in too hot and glowing like my first attempt, which now I'm really disliking.

Bay Bridge


Tonight was the night. The night was had business on the other side of the city and marked my chance to take a shot at The Bay Bridge with The Bay Lights on during it's testing phase (it officially launches in early March 2013). The challenge was that it was pouring rain on the way there.  Luckily shortly after parking, the rain miraculously stopped and what was left was a clear, crisp, unobstructed view.  It was like the rain was there to wash away all the dirty smog that accumulated during the day and provide me the best conditions for my capture. Hope you enjoy my efforts.  Support The Bay Lights Project.
