San Francisco Bay Area Photography

Spring time in Northern California. From Baker Beach, San Francisco, I saw a bed of ice plants leading to Golden Gate Bridge. I was itching to use my film camera, Nikon F4s loaded with Fuji Velvia 100 slide film, hence the over saturation and contrast.

Baker Beach is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. The view of Pacific Ocean, Marin Headlands and Golden Gate Bridge is simply amazing. This picture was taken in December when the sky was actually blue and the clouds were widely available.

Golden Gate Bridge north tower, with San Francisco in background, on a foggy and windy night.  Thi is a work-in-progress as my computer can not process fast enough to handle this large file size - at least until the new quad processor computer arrives.

One reason I like night photography is that when the night rolls in and the traffic dwindles, the nature becomes so much more accessible to my senses.

I stood on the vista looking down at water for a few minutes as my eyes tuned to the night only clothed in artificial lights.

I was looking through some night shots I’ve taken recently and this one caught my eye. Of all the shots I’ve taken and have seen other’s, this one captured the color of the bridge so well.

Bay Area certainly is not the same without this technical marvel of our time. This rainy season provided some interesting light and atmosphere than what is commonly expected of California hazy sky.
