Contemplating the Distant View
© All rights reserved. A low-res, flatbed scan of a 6x7 (2 1/4 x 2 3/4 inch) transparency
Although I've seen really good images from the area used to shoot this, over the decades I've been a Bay Area photographer, I never found the time to use a long lens here myself, until it was certain that the new Bay Lights would go on.
I figured that they would affect the way reflection shots would look, so I set out to shoot a series of them before that time. Well, I started close to home with this one and eventually arrived as far south as the Embarcadero in San Francisco, but didn't get to every shot. Not the biggest deal to worry about, to be sure. Especially when you consider that the Bay Lights help certain shots, quite a bit. Still, I think it was a good thing to do.
Anyway, the main thing about this shot was having clear enough air right above the bay to render the city, itself, to better establish a sense of place because this is FAR away.
Thanks for having a look!
