Because of my commute route I have the opportunity to shoot a lot of photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. But, because I’m commuting, the vantages are limited by my desire to get home. Fort Baker is a fave for easy off, easy on the highway.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 53mm. 1/125 second at f/9.0, ISO 100.

I stopped at the vista point at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge today on my way home. Here’s the sequence of events.
Walked onto the bridge and got a pedestrian shot.
Took advantage of the bridge vantage and got a cityscape (cropped to) panorama. (Click on the pano shot for a larger view.)
Headed back to the tourist stop and shot some tourists being tourists.
And finally, took a portrait view of the bridge and its shadow.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm–and a lot of f/11.
On the bridge shot: 15mm, 1/125 second at f/11, ISO 100.
Pano shot: 85mm, 1/100 second at f/11, ISO 100.
Tourist shot: 42mm, 1/125 second at f/11, ISO 100.
Portrait bridge shot: 42mm, 1/125 second at f/11, ISO 100.

My ISP was having issues yesterday so I couldn’t post, but I did take some photos. This view at the park across the road from where I work has been blogged here several times, but I never caught it with a dynamic cloud cover at low tide. Here it is.

A storm moved into and out of the Bay Area over the past 24 hours dumping a moderate amount of rain. By the time I left work for my commute home the roads were dry. I figured it might be a good day to take a little side trip down to Fort Baker and grab some photos. Unfortunately, there was a layer of very high clouds filtering the sunlight so I didn’t get the sparkling clear views I was hoping for–but, I was the only out there so I had an enjoyably peaceful 15 minutes of photo fun.

Things have gotten busy of late, and the band is preparing to go out on a 10 day tour, so I’ve been lax with my daily photo stops. Excuses, excuses…. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I scored a copy of Lightroom 3 from B&H for $69! Great deal, but it was back ordered so while I’m waiting for it to arrive I’ve been looking through my messy photo collection planning a much needed organizational attack. Tonight I ran across this image and pulled it out of the stack–probably because the motel room kitchenette seems so tidy.
