View of SF from North Vista Point

Lumix G5, Lumix 20mm f1.7

We stopped at the north end of the GG Bridge to see the last of the parade of ships for Fleet Week. I haven't taken out the Lumix 20mm lens for a while, and I'm still amazed by the great IQ from this lens.

Misty Marin Hills & GG Bridge

Nikon D200, Nikkor 85mm f1.8D

On this day, I noticed the nicely shaded layers in the Marin Headlands, and I tried to incorporate that into a composition with the bridge.

I'm trying different compositions, which one do you prefer? And also please tell us why.

Another bike riding/cell phone cam shot, from a couple of Sundays ago.

This was taken from the fishing pier at Fort Baker.

Clouds Over the Bay

Lumix G5, Lumix 14mm f2.5

There were dramatic clouds over SF last Sunday, in between the rain showers. This was taken from the Municipal Fishing Pier at Aquatic Park.

The Timeless Look

Nikon D100, Tokina 17mm f3.5 ATX

Since there was nothing modern visible in the frame, I decided to do this one in black and white.

I thought the crude, rusty chains in the foreground contrast nicely with the elegance of the bridge.

Two By Two

Nikon D100, Tokina 17mm f3.5 ATX

Late afternoon, at the Crissy Field fishing pier, the tourists were taking their obligatory pictures in front of our city's iconic landmark.

It was time to dust off the D100 to give it some exercise. It still gives fantastic image quality, wouldn't you agree?

Twilight at the Bridge

Lumix DMC-G5, Lumix 20mm f1.7

Continuing my series of images from this session, this was just after sunset and the light was fading quickly.

Bridge Curves

Lumix DMC-G5, Lumix 100-300mm

This angle really shows the curvature of the bridge.

Bridge Shot

Lumix DMC-G5, Lumix 100-300mm

Lena's recent shots from this location inspired me to go out there this afternoon. I posted this exact angle before except that one was taken on slide film. This one here is with my latest gear. It was a beautiful day out there, but once  the sun went down, it got VERY COLD... I'll post more later.

I uploaded a large image so that you can examine the image quality from this equipment combination. (be sure to click on the image to see the original uploaded version).

Four at the GG Bridge

Here's one of mine with the traditional GG Bridge background. :)

Summer Fog #2

Nikon D200, Nikkor 85mm f1.8D

The view changed by the minute. Here the fog parted briefly to reveal part of the headlands and a little more of the bridge's north tower.

Last of the Summer Fog

Nikon D200, Nikkor 85mm f1.8D

Well, it's probably not the LAST, but I liked saying that in the title :)

We happened to be up in the Marin Headlands yesterday near the same place as Dan's recent post. The blanket of fog was very interesting.

Twilight View of San Francisco from the Marin Headlands

Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 14-45mm

This is historic, my first stitched panorama shot!

This is a 7 shot stitched panorama. The shots were handheld. I used my EVF's grid line display to aid with positioning the horizon in each of the 7 shots. In post-processing, I am trying out a program called Autostitch. It was ridiculously easy to create the resulting image. Blogger has a 1600 pixel width limit on images, so unfortunately you won't be able to see all the details.

I also tried a 6 shot series in portrait mode that worked well, but this series was a more dramatic example.

Waiting or Watching?

Ft. Point and Bridge

Lumix DMC-GF1, Lumix 14-45mm

Another from that photogenic place :).

I put a white frame on this image, but it's invisible because of this blog's white background.
