After our post-hike treat at Salt & Straw, headed to a light lunch at Boudin. Then, I wanted to get a view of the Oakland Bay Bridge, and the best way to do that is visiting San Francisco's Treasure Island. … [Read more...] about Visiting San Francisco’s Treasure Island

Golden Gate Bridge from Battery to Bluffs Trail
I am having a lot of fun reprocessing photos as I learn more post-production techniques. This photo was taken in January of 2015 during my photo hike from Lands End to Marshall's Beach in San Francisco. At the same time, sometimes I prefer the boldness and surreal images from Photomatix. It is more focused on the imagination rather than reality. That's the fun part about … [Read more...] about Golden Gate Bridge from Battery to Bluffs Trail

There were no clouds in the sky - just clear views of the Golden Gate and the Marin Headlands in the background. I took many photos and enjoyed them all. But this one has to be my favorite. … [Read more...] about My Favorite Photo of the Golden Gate Bridge
Sun Setting on the Base of the Golden Gate Bridge
I was trying to figure out a way to get a picture of the sun setting on the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco, but alas that just didn't seem possible without a boat. Instead I had to settle for seeing the sun shine through both the base span of the bridge, as well as some beautiful flowers currently in bloom. I quite like the result. There are many places … [Read more...] about Sun Setting on the Base of the Golden Gate Bridge
