View East, Full Moon Rising Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Marin Headlands is a hilly area at the southernmost end of Marin County, California, above the Golden Gate. The Headlands are located just north of San Francisco, immediately across the Golden Gate Bridge. The entire area is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Headlands are famous for their stunning views of the Bay Area, especially the Golden Gate Bridge.

It was a full moon rising over the Golden Gate Bridge on one side and it was a beautiful sunset on one side and the other side (See my previous post View West – Point Bonita Lighthouse) Same location different view. The sunset of Point Bonita photo was taken 15 minutes earlier.

Didn't have a tripod with me at the time, I rested the camera on a fence for support.

Your critiques and comment is greatly appreciated even on previous posts, it gives me some ideas what people like to see and learn as well as how I’m doing. Am I just wasting of my times here?

Way,
Wow, this is an outstanding photo! You have captured the blue hour here very well with great blending of natural and artificial light. The colors are well saturated with excellent sharpness and DOF. The moon and it's reflection are outstanding!
TFS,
Asa

Hi, Way -

A really nice view of the bridge. I know the spot you shot this from, though I haven't been there in a few years. Very nicely done. The moon almost looks a bit artificial, but the reflection on the water makes it clear that it is not, at all.

And the lack of a tripod did not affect the picture. Good job!

Regards,
Dan
