San Francisco Bay Photo

Photographer’s Note

San Francisco Bay, from the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. The CBD can be seen on the distant peninsula at left. But my focus here was on the breaking wave in the fg, & the old red brick building, in the bottom right corner. Alcatraz is just off frame on the left.

Hello Chris,
A fine expansive view over the bay. The incoming breaker gives a great sense of dynamism. I like the point of view, which makes very good use of the curving seashore. Very nice turquoise tones in the water.

Hello Chris,
As a San Franciscan, I don't think I've ever seen this precise shot. Seeing all the way from Fort Point to the Bay Bridge is brilliant! Your image does need to be rotated to horizontal -- see my workshop tomorrow -- but nice work.
Regards,
Mary

Bonjour Chris,
un endriut très célèbre, cette baie de San Francisco.
Tu nous la propose avec un POV en ealtitude, excellente idée bien entendu pour gagner en profondeur.
Juste une petit critique au niveau des couleurs que je trouve un rien bleutées.
Best regards
Daniel.

Hello Chris!
San Francisco is an american city I'd love to visit! I bet I would take hundreds of pictures there! It's such a magnificent location!
Your picture shows me a totally unknown side of that city (at least for me) and it pleases me a lot!
TFS - congratulations!
Abraços,
Neyvan

ciao Chris,
un bellissimo panorama!!
onde in FG che si frangono sulla scogliera e tutto un bellissimo azzurro che pervade la foto.
Leggera pendenza dei fabbricati sullo sfondo e ottima gestione della luce.
un saluto

Hi Chris,
Lovely view of the coastline of the S.F. Bay.
Love the line of white surf contrasting with the turquoise sea.
The city skyline makes a beautiful background to this fine image.
Regards, Tom

Hi Chris,
What an expansive view, such wide ange or is this a stitched image. Anyhow very nice, giving a great impression of the overall are and view of downtown SF. Perhaps a little over exposed, with some lost details and lake of intensity in colors and tone.

Hi Chris,

Effect of the really appreciable wide-angle lens on this photograph, giving a good beautiful panorama on this so famous bay. The colors are astonishing with these plays of lights. I like much the depth of the image. Well done Chris.

With all my friendships of Versailles where we have just had a true flood of rain… and a very good WE,

Hi Chris,

The curves of the coastline and the capture of the power of the sea are assets to the composition. The presence of the sailboat has an effect of scale. The point of view takes our eyes toward the city which is giving depth to the photo. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors and giving some shadowed areas to the scenery. Have a nice day.
