San Francisco Fog Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Fog is amazing in San Franciso. Yesterday it was rolling over the hills for only about 10 minutes but it was very dramatic.

This is an HDR combination of three exposures all taken with a slow shutter speed. In order to get the speed down I adjusted the exposure to 2 full stops below normal then used F22 and a polarizing filter.

Wow, this is a beautiful shot! The fog on the hills gives this an unusual, ghostly appearance that is quite stunning. I like that sun backlighting the fog too. Amazing!

A dream effect engulfs the image the way you chose to portray it....
Nice application and even better calculations to freeze the frame....

WOW! Looks fantastic! Very nice capture of this rather difficult view with lots of highlight areas.

Amazing photo Roger. Again a very "believable" HDR technique and an extremely dramatic fog. It almost looks like a forest fire. Kind regards, Paul.

Hello Roger,
The play of light from a low angle adds value to this capture!
Along the coastline fog is often an amazing weather phenomenon, coming and going like that...
I like the details captured, and the presentation is well composed!
Greetings,
