Moon over the Golden Gate Bridge - San Francisco, CA

PRESS L must be viewed larger on black

 

The other day I was monitoring the San Francisco weather when I noticed some promising fog lingering around the San Francisco Bay Area. The fog later appeared, so I drove REALLY fast towards the Golden Gate Bridge. As I approached, I noticed the road leading to Battery Spencer was closed. A panic ensued and I had no choice but to shoot it from Fort Baker. As I was shooting from Ft. Baker the moon started to rise and I thought to myself, "Man, it would be awesome to shoot the bridge with the moon over the Bridge"!

 

The fog was really nice from down below so I spent about an hour shooting a few frames. As I was driving back home I noticed the road leading to Battery Spencer had reopened. I drove up and spent another hour enjoying this MAGNIFICENT scene. I tried so hard to frame the moon right over the north tower and have the south tower completely covered in fog. This image is a result of that effort. I really like how the moonlight provided the light in the sky and a created a great shadow of the bridge. During this photo shoot, I had the opportunity to finally meet an awesome Bay Area landscape shooter Huggen. Be sure to check out his rendition of this amazing scene. May the light be with you this weekend. Thanks for your constant support and visits. Jave
