Challenge:Landmarks (Advanced Editing II) Camera:Sony DSC-F828 Location: San Francisco Date: Nov 29, 2004 Aperture: 8.0 ISO: 64 Shutter: 1/250 sec Date Uploaded: Nov 29, 2004
"Classic" view, well-done. I might try making the sky a little more saturated if it didn't throw off everything else. Nice with the sailboats and no tankers : )
You are a brave person - the GG bridge has been photgraphed sooo many times. But this is a good one, classic composition and good focus throughout. Although your exposre is right on, thjis scene may actually look better when taken a bit underexposed.
returning for comments:
The great Golden Gate. A very good angle. My only tiny objection is its shadow on the water. The shading or hue is out of the family. Still a great comp. Bumping up.
Been across this many times, definate landmark here in Cali. It was actually my first thought for the challenge, but I went the other direction into the mountains. Glad you decided on this, you did a great job!
Funny as this was going to be the exact view that I was going to submit myself. I figure that most people that visited the city was going to have a shot like this in there collection of photos so I chose not too.
Angle of the composition is nice as the eyes follow the span toward the Marin side of the bay. The reds stand out against the blue of the ocean and the sky. The inclusion of the sailboats gives the viewer the feeling that the ocean is a recreational area.
this image is overexposed, the bridge is blown out and you lose all details in the pillars. You might like to underexpose by about 0.5 or 1 stop for this image or take this one around sunset for better light
