The Bay Bridge at Sunset

So I’ve returned from an 8 day visit to the west coast. It was a great trip, my first to California. We visited sites like San Francisco, Yosemite National Park, Monteray, Big Sur, etc. It’s a beautiful part of the country.

It was tough for me to decide how to start working through the photos, so I decided to start by posting one from each day. So today’s photo was from our first day in San Francisco. I had a different idea for sunset, but my spot was quickly crowded with so many people with camera’s that I decided to head to “Plan B”. This view of the Bay Bridge is actually looking east, but the clouds in the sunset sky were perfect.

Tomorrow, I’ll have a photo of the “other” San Francisco Bridge 🙂

 

Details: This photo consists of a 7 exposure HDR, a separate exposure to smooth out the water, and another exposure to capture the lights on the bridge once it got darker. The techniques used to edit this photo can be found in tutorials at www.sohdr.com
