Across the road from where I work, at the southern end of San Francisco Bay, there are salt marshes bordered by salt ponds which are in turn bordered by industrial parks. This is the view looking north. The hill is San Bruno Mountain which looms over the north side of South San Francisco.

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.

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.

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.
