More Tips on San Francisco from Travelers

San Francisco
Some friends and I visited San Francisco this past spring and came to Lands End to enjoy the waves and the sand. It was pretty windy/cold but we had tons of fun walking/jumping around. We sat on some nearby logs for a rest and took photos of what were seeing. I snapped a bunch of photos of everyone, caught this one of my friend gazing off at the bridge into the distance. This reminds me of fun times surrounded with friends in a new place, wondering about the future (which actually ended up being right back in SF!)

I was over the moon to finally get out and fly the drone on a night with very little wind. I’d been waiting weeks for this shot to finally have some potential… and I was over the moon at the resulting trails. Initially I thought it may have been inevitable that the bridge was slightly out of focus… however the focus point stayed tack sharp throughout the 8 second exposure.

Taken on a recent trip to Treasure Island… I didn’t realize that so much construction was taking place on Yerba Buena Island so my typically shooting spots weren’t accessible. It turned out to be a good thing and forced me to look for new perspectives… I found this frame near one of the old carparks on the road between Treasure and Yerba Buena Islands.

Visiting San Francisco only for half a day we tried to find out what was the best spot to take a picture form this landmark. Finally we decided to go to Marshall Beach. That day it was al little bit cloudy, but the moment we came at the beach the sun was already shining again.

Staying in Sausalito recently, I took this picture while riding the ferry into San Francisco. Even though I lived in SF for years, I never took the ferry and was awestruck by this morning view. I’m sad I missed out on this beautiful commute for so many years.

Strolling down San Francisco back to my rental car with buds after having delicious bomb sushi, I saw this shot in my head and reminded me so much of Daft punks song “Da Funk”. I had to capture this as it was a child hood memory throwback.

It’s cool to think of the Golden Gate Bridge as the Statue of Liberty of the West Coast, seeing this for the first time defines the word freedom.
