Doing Touristy Stuff in My Own City – Golden Gate Bridge Photos During Spring Flower Bloom

April 24, 2015 by jeffsetter

Golden Gate Bridge Wildflowers

After spending two weeks in the European alps in March, I don’t have any exotic or international travel booked until July. Then all hell is breaking loose (more to come). That means many domestic photos and experimentation with my camera. And awesome pictures of the San Francisco bay area.

I hope you don’t mind too much.

Sure, I will mix in photos from the archives. I’m trying to do a flight review once a week, and a hotel review as well. In between, I’m going to be sharing photos I take as I learn to use my new camera.

I am fortunate that San Francisco is an awesome city for photography. The Golden Gate Bridge is probably the most photographed aspect of the city, but there are plenty of other iconic images as well. Sutro Tower, winding Lombard street, the Bay Bridge, Twin Peaks. You really can’t go wrong in this city.

So don’t be surprised if you see a lot more photos of California in the next few months. After that we will be getting more exotic and international, I promise.

    GORGEOUS PHOTO!! I am so happy I could finally comment on this post!! Most of the other photography posts do not seem to have a comment section. Fabulous job with all the HDR photos you’ve been taking for the past few months. My interest is piqued and I wish I had the time to go out and start shooting again! I would love to learn the HDR technique at some point too……

      Nice capture. What equipment did you use and what settings? Did you do any post production processing? Thanks!

        Hey Eric – this is with my Sony Alpha 7R on a Tripod (wicked angle). 3 Exposures (-3, 0, +3). f 9.5, ISO 50, 30MM. Blended in Lightroom 6 HDR feature and then a graduated filter on top to make sky proper blue and on bottom to get purple flowers and green plants right.
