Mini Vacation during my Mega Vacation
We took a day trip to San Francisco, which turned into a night trip, which turned into a 4 day trip. These posts are late, but well worth it. This post will have two pictures, because I just couldn't decide which I liked better.
This is a perfectly shot picture of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. It took several takes to get the settings and the camera just right, due to the lighting and camera shake. This was taken around 7 pm West Coast time, which is dark. I tried some closer pics of the traffic on the bridge but the headlights blew out the bottom half of the picture. Plus I was freezing so I wanted to get out of there. This was my second trip to San Francisco, but my best picture of their most famous landmark.
This image is to the left of the bridge overlooking the city of San Francisco and the Bay. This is a small bay across from the Fisherman's wharf. It struck me as quaint and tucked away outside the beaming lights of the big city. It is still considered San Fran, but on the out skirts of the Bay, the north end of the Bridge. Almost unnoticed. I overlooked it, until an adjustment in my camera settings made it pop. Then my mission was to capture this hidden nugget.
Some true San Franciscans may know the place well, and consider it a vital part of the Bay area. My interaction with this harbor was different. It snuck up on me, surprising me, reminding me of the quiet little brother, hushed into a corner to wait his turn.
