Golden Gate Bridge

This photo of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco was taken from the same spot as the photo showing the Transamerica Building framed by the north tower of the bridge which I posted a few days ago. Note that the building is still framed by the tower in this image. This photo was taken on the same day as the other photo, but hours later, and it was taken with a 70-200 lens at 122mm, not a 500mm lens. The Golden Gate Bridge is probably the most-photographed structure in California. Iwish I had a penny for every photo ever taken of it.

San Francisco Landscape

Whenever we think of landscape images we usually think in terms of wide angle lenses. However, it’s sometimes worthwhile looking at a landscape in a totally different way. This photo was taken from a popular spot for photos of the Golden Gate Bridge, but I used a 500mm lens. I also cropped the sides.

Golden Gate Bridge Photographed from Fort Baker

Most photos of the Golden Gate Bridge are taken from the Marin Headlands looking east toward San Francisco. There are other vantage points for photographing it. I like this view from Fort Baker. It shows historic Fort Point near the south tower of the bridge and historic Lime Point near the north tower. If you’d like a print of this image click here.
