Sunday Bridge Series & Scenic Sunday

I didn't have a tripod with me and it was getting too dark to shoot by hand,
so I set my camera on the stone wall in front of
where my car was parked and gave it a try.
Lucky me!
I got a great shot
of the Golden Gate Bridge basking in soft twilight...
San Francisco, CA
(11/14/10)

Fantastic shot. I love the reflection in the water, and being able to see the wall where your camera was is a bonus!

You can certainly sit on your laurels with this shot. It really is the shoot to end all shots. Utterly amazing with the golden reflection and the haze under the bridge, sheer magic!

Yes, you did! This is a terrific twilight shot of the Golden Gate Bridge! I am always forgetting to bring my single pod along, so my camera has sat on many places! It works! :-D

The Golden Gate is so frequently photographed, it's not often you come across an image of it that makes you take pause. The light in this image is just stunning...I love how the bridge is glowing. Add that reflection...it's perfect. Awesome job on this one.

oh, I love this one. I get all nostalgic because I have been at that very place, with a dear friend now departed. Your brilliantly saturated colors just get better and better.
