Under the Golden Gate

A couple from last month.

#1 is real nice.

Folks don't usually see that part of the bridge

Wil Davis

I like them both; there's just something about monochrome! I think #1 is more interesting as it's from an unusual viewpoint.

Thanks for sharing -

Lovely perspectives with fine processing. The images are sharp and well exposed. Good job with the b&w conversion, as well.

I love the first one with the sweep of the start of the bridge and over the lighthouse on top of Fort Point. How come I never noticed that???

These are fantastic, Anthony! Are these IR, or just IR-processed? The perspective is incredible and even though I've seen this view myself, it never looked quite like that. This is so much better.

Torags, thank you. The funny thing is that I see this perspective more often than "normal" perspectives.

Thank you, Mahesh. I am learning to shoot landscapes from you and other masters. A lot to learn still...

Perhaps, it was what inside Fort Point that distracted you. There are so many things to shoot inside. I spent a lot of time inside the fort before going to the top. Boy, it was windy on top. I didn't think I would get sharp shots.

Thanks, schmoo. They are IR. I shot during the day and managed to keep the clouds in check, without resorting to bracketing.

I like this viewpoint, being very untypical and with the curving shape leading out of the image. Just a shame the lighthouse is 'touching' the bridge ironwork.

Thank you for your comment. Yep, that's one thing I really need to work on -- pay attention to everything within the frame and their positions relative to one another.

At least you can pop back and have another go!

I love these! I'll never tire of Golden Gate Bridge shots.

So true.

Fantastic! You have turned quite into the IR shooter! Is this your camera or are you still using Cuong's camera?

Thanks, Danny. I'll post more GGB soon.

Thanks, April. It was Cuong's camera. I won't be able to replicate these shots anytime soon. :cry

Maybe I can pop back so you can have another go at it.:D You're no slouch with the G6 either so don't make excuses and underestimate yourself. I was there and all I could think about was the incessant wind. Next time I need to look up more.

With the G6, I will have to go for different shots as it is not as wide and won't lock focus at its widest (manual focus is not usable because I can't see any detail in the tiny window within a tiny LCD). When is your next trip here?
