Golden Gate Bridge Photo

Photographer’s Note

This was taken on a cruise that passed around the Bridge. The view was awesome - you can really feel the enormity of the bridge as you pass under it, hearing vehicles and seagulls screaming past. Thankfully, it was a clear, sunny day, so the pictures were spectacular.

This photo has not been touched up in any way (which I'm really proud of): just resized. Of course, don't hesitate to tell me what you think about it!

Welcome to TE!

This is a really good shot - its nice to see an original viewpoint of a possibly over-familiar landmark. The sky is great and the diagonal composition is very dynamic. At first I thought maybe the strong shadow was a negative point but I think on reflection it actually makes the image stronger by making the bridge more graphic. Well done!

Bienvenue sur TE Lynn!
Unusual point of view, gives great result! In fact simplicity is the + point of this picture, just the bridge and the sky mixing very well...

Different and interesting angle. I like the clouds behind the bridge as well.

Very nice and original angle, this is a way we seldom see the Golden Gate Bridge. You had a beuatiful sky as well that day. Good capture!

Thanks for your comment on my laksa picture.

Of all your 3 bridge shots, this is the one I like best. As you say, it shows how massive this bridge is. A unique angle, so refreshing from all the other typical GGB photos. Perfect composition.

A very very good photographic angle, Lynn.
All the espect of creating a good shots is added into one masterpiece of yours. The foreground of the bridge and the clear clouded sky.

Well, indeed it was a real gems. With no alteration and and digital imrpovement, you have presented a masterpiece that you are really proud of. I would like to share it with you, too.
This is ONE COOL angle, Lynn. Actually, i always emphasis on angle work before releasing the shutter. And that's why I have this piece in my fav list.
With th cruise passing below the bridge, you have captured it with good clarity and sharpness. Another bravo to you, Lynn.
