at the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco. One of a few images I was able to capture as the fog rolled in to enshroud the bridge. About 5 minutes later it was no longer visible.
See that white post in the lower left foreground? As I was setting up my tripod for this bridge shot I noticed a dark object fly past and land on that pole. Thought to myself "has to be an owl", it was 10pm. I figured it was a GHOW, but when I put my flashlight on it, it was a Short-eared Owl. I took a few long exposure shots with it illuminated before it flew off to hunt. Pretty crazy to see a SEOW in the Bay Area in June!
Part of a challenge to shoot local for 7 days in a row when I first moved into SF. It's probably been a year... releasing this shot is long overdue.
A beautiful dusk glow bathes goldie the bridge in last light. The composition wasn't nailed perfectly, as I had a horde of tourists to my left taking go pro shots and making the ideal composition impossible. Nevertheless I can't really complain, as my expectations were low this day, and the light came in pastel with a nice flow created by sea breeze winds.
We went to San Francisco for sunset shoot at the bay. We walked along Crissy Field to get the sun behind one of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge. People enjoyed the last rays of the day.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, carefully adjusted the curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive feedback.

I couldn't resist trying to grab one final glimpse of the Golden Gate bridge at the end of my last California trip (especially since the sun was shining).

Here are some other San Francisco images in the Top-Photo-Spots group that I help administer.

From a helicopter perspective right over the middle of Golden Gate bridge, just before we looped under it.
After waiting for this trip for more than half a year, we lost track of time and I almost missed the sunset on the only night I was spending here. Luckily traffic was light and the elements for this photo presented themselves and I was able to get this shot. There wasn't much time to figure out the best spot but in the end I'm pretty happy with this one. Maybe some day I will revisit, but for the moment this will do.
This picture will look best viewed on a big screen!
