Description Everyone knows where this bridge is. I'm lucky in that I get to cross it 3 days per week...and sometimes, it looks like this.

I'm SO not looking forward to the new fence thinger they're going to put on it.....I mean if people want to jump off a bridge and SF wants to make it hard for them to jump off the Golden Gate...they will find some other bridge. Eh :/


Great shot though!

I know. I hope it won't stick out too far, but at least it won't ruin my view when I'm driving over

lol. I live in SF and this sight is rare indeed! I've tried with a friend to capture a nice sunrise on numerous occasions with a friend but always to no avail. SF weather is way too wonky.

thefoodshed [2008-10-31 22:42:36 +0000 UTC]

Gorgeous. I was just up there a couple of weeks ago. So 2 questions: What time in the morning is this? What manipulation (if any) did you do to it in PS?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

themobius In reply to thefoodshed [2008-11-01 05:15:49 +0000 UTC]

I usually pass over the bridge aroudn 6:50 to 7AM, but the traffic has been really sucky they last few months. My camera says it was 7:27, but I think it was a little earlier than that because I was heading back down the hill at about 7:30 and it's a 3-5 minute walk out there.

I actually did quite a bit in photoshop, but the key thing I did was bracket the exposure one for the sky and one for the rest so that I could get details everywhere. It's not an HDR because the coulds were moving to fast with these long exposures, but it's some clever blending with masks and fill light and all sorts fo nonsense. I suppose I could send you a mini version of the file if you want to see the various techniques. I have no secrets

thefoodshed In reply to themobius [2008-11-03 17:08:57 +0000 UTC]

No worries, I was just curious. It's a great photo, it just seemed a lot had been done in PS.

Strickland In reply to themobius [2008-10-31 21:50:53 +0000 UTC]

Very much so! I found it by asking my friend who was showing me around San Fran "Hey can we get up there?" and so to Battery Spencer we went.
