The whole shootin’ match.
I’m running out of commute energy! The vacation is looming (more on that soon) and my head is starting to rebel. I want to see NEW stuff! For solace I drifted off track to a known view of my old friend, the Golden Gate Bridge. I figure I’ve crossed the bridge well over 5000 time over the past 11 1/2 years. This is what it looked like today from a Lincoln Blvd turnout at about 3:30 PM:

I am SO ready for my vacation! How about getting on the ferry at 4:40 AM and then disappearing for a month? It’s getting close, though it won’t be on a ferry. Here’s the Larkspur Ferry terminal from the almost empty parking lot in the wee hours:

Heading home today I turned up Fulton Street and headed toward Stanyan. I parked a couple of blocks down from St. Ignatius figuring on some of preconceived shots. While walking down Stanyan, I looked up a narrow alley and saw the St. Ignatius cupola and CHARTREUSE!
Of course I had to see the house so I headed a block down to McAllister… Magnifique!
And here’s a perspective (neighborhood) shot:

Weekend post, so out comes an older photo (taken in early August). “Too much fog” has a double meaning in this shot of houses in Presidio Heights in San Francisco. There’s too much fog in the image and there was too much fog in the city this summer. So there you go, photographic irony. 😉

Not exactly commute photos, but after the Friday commute we had to “commute” to a gig at the Berkeley Yacht Club. We arrived just after the sun had set so I quickly grabbed the G11 and snapped a few shots. These are zoomed in views across the bay (as much as the G11 can zoom)–I cropped them panoramically because there was too much water and sky in the original frames.
After the show, I grabbed my tripod and got a few night shots. Since we were at a yacht club I figured I should focus on boats.
[The image of the boats at night was shot in shutter speed mode (TV): 6 second exposure, ISO 200, aperture 3.5, focal length 6.1mm (equivalent to 28mm on a full frame camera)]
