| Panoramic of the Golden Gate Bridge |
During another business trip to the San Francisco area in mid-December, I returned to the
Golden Gate Bridge National Recreation Area to try and capture some images of the bridge from different angles. As I mentioned in an
earlier post, I missed the overlook I was trying to find during my previous trip in September and wanted to try again.
For the image above, I stood on top of a overlook off of Conzelman road for about an hour waiting for the sun to set. I was praying the sun would pop out from the clouds/haze and illuminate the bridge just long enough for a few shots. My prayer was answered about 30 minutes before sunset. The sun stayed out just long enough for me to capture a set of 7 images, which I stitched together to form the panoramic above.
While there, I also stopped by the Ridge Battery and Battery Spencer and captured the images below. These were gun emplacements set up shortly after the Civil War to protect the San Francisco Bay. You can still see the earthen walls they build to provide protection from enemy fire.

ReplyDeleteWould love to see these blown up.
I fly into SFO more often than I like, but this was only my 2nd time to go to the Golden Gate Bridge. I'll try to remember to bring the larger files to a photo club meeting sometime.
