That night before a group of us decided we wanted to get up and watch the sunrise over the mountains. We all brought our bibles to do our devotional when one of us saw this rock overlooking the entire valley. Two of them decided to sit on the rock to talk about the Lord. Being the photographer I am of course I brought my camera to capture this moment of bliss in the fog.

This is a pic of the famous Buckhorn Wash in Utah. It’s fading away due to erosion and the forces of nature; it’s sad to see such a amazing inspiring piece of art made hundreds of years ago. I’m really interested in Archeology and Anthropology as well, I just love history. :)

Visiting her cousin’s farm in the Sierra Nevada Foothills, Fi spent the day cleaning and caring for the chickens and fell in love with this mild-mannered hen. The apparent blood on her hands is actually pomegranate juice, having picked a couple from the tree at lunch. This hen didn’t mind.

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.

This shot encapsulates the beauty of a sunrise hitting the city and the bridge, while people crawl their way into the city to begin their Friday evenings in style.

A unique view of what used to be the tallest building in San Francisco (eclipsed by the new Salesforce Tower in 2018). The Transamerica Pyramid is still a prominent figure on the skyline and a must-see if you visit the city.

I’m quite happy I managed to get this iconic shot of the San Francisco cable cars… not just one but two! This is on the corner of Powell St and Bush St. I took the cable car all the way down to Market St and I must say the views you get along the way are well worth the $7 price tag on this trip.

I was snowshoeing back to the cabin I was staying in with my father, brother, and some friends when I saw my brother pause and look off into the forest for a minute. I pulled up my camera and captured the moment of rest and observation of the beauty in and around this forest.

We did the full tourist experience when we visited Northern California and when we went on the boat tour of the Golden Gate Bridge the tour guide told us the paint color of the bridge was called “international orange”. The architects had to choose one color to paint the entire bridge and it was no coincidence that they chose a color that was inclusive and named it international as San Fran is the home to people from all over the world.

Taken on my only visit to the US, when visiting Microsoft. I did not bring my camera but the kind people their loaned me a camera and took me out to see the sights.

I was chasing the sunset through San Francisco buildings trying to find a clear shot. After randomly driving around I didn’t find any so I gave up. On the drive home I randomly ran into this view. I pulled over in the emergency lane (nothing like adding some thrill into the chase) and took this shot. Life lesson: just in case you give up, keep your head up because you don’t know what’s around the corner.

I headed down to Golden Gate overlook, San Francisco to catch the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge. While I was grabbing some shots of the bridge I looked down over the cliffs and the light coming in over the pacific onto the beach looked amazing. It could almost be a drone shot!

This was taken north of San Francisco. I was hiking with my family and I had a film camera on me that I was shooting. I saw this and had to snap an iPhone picture of the view.

I took this photo a couple of weekends ago. I was at the Rock Springs Trail head parking lot with the San Francisco Amateur Astronomers club. Off to the right you cam see the moon and then you have the whole Milky Way arching over the city of San Francisco. This photo is a 360 panorama and was made with a Sony A7Sii and a Rokinon 8mm fish eye lens. If you download it and view it in a 360 photo viewer you will be amazed with what you see. I’m on IG @bryangoffphoto Stop by and say hi!

Was staying at an airbnb on twin peaks. I thought the view from my room was fantastic, but then I happened to walk to this place called Christmas Tree point and was just mesmerised. Ended up trekking there again the next day and even record a full sunrise video . This perhaps is one of the most underrated places in SF. I am not really a photographer and have relied on unsplash community for great photographs…I thought this might be my chance to give back and share this beauty with the larger community.

Lichen on tall trees. Walking through the forest surrounding by these towering giants, I was inspired by the sheer amount of lichen clinging to the trees. I especially found the patterns it took on the trees, forming thick lines up the sides.

This photo is a photo of first’s for me. It was my first time visiting the US, travelling alone and using my first ever DSLR camera. It was the first time I witnessed strong, crashing waves and titanic rock structures. I was absolutely mesmerized by the sight of the splashing water and chilled to the bone by the cold sea breeze. I will forever remember how intimidating it was to try and capture all of this beauty through a small lens, and I can honestly say that this photo did not do it justice.

I watched as this couple passed along this hidden gem of a beach in California. The red sunset with the red flowers in the foreground help give a sense of romance to this photo that some might not pickup on at first glance.

On a sweltering 100 degree day in California, I took to the creek. I read and watched tiny fish swim underneath me and listened to the forest ambiance. After a few hours of silence I heard a tiny rustling on the bank just next to me and turned around– and it was a RATTLESNAKE! A large rattlesnake had come out of the woods to take a drink.
