[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This morning I decided to try my luck to see if I could get some clear photos of the Golden Gate Bridge since the weather has been pretty good lately. I drove across the bridge to the Marine Headlands and got this shot a few minutes before 7:00 AM when the sun was just about to come up.

Nice capture of the famous bridge. One of its many faces. Janos

Hello Gary,
it's always a pleasure to see a picture of the Golgen Gate; the mood is beautiful with the soft and warm colours of the sunrise, and the gradient in the sky is amazing. It's a pity you didn't go up with your f/ number to get more clarity and depth. I see you did use a tripod so why not use f/11 or even more?
If I had the chance I'd try this shot again.
Thanks very much for sharing it.
Regards

Igor

Hi gary

It realy paid of ... well done.

We have a similar bridge here in Portugal, maybe one of this days I follow your steps.

igor got a point with the exposure aperture, but with the same photo, my suggestion in PP is to correct the vertical lines
good POV and mood BTW

hi, very nice picture and composition, excellent moment, with the stars still visible.

Cette photo Gary est très intéressante pour l'ambiance qu'elle dégage. C'est l'heure bleue du matin avec en plus les premières lueurs de l'aube. Déjà l'activité est grande sur ce pont mythique. Du beau travail !

Hi Gary,

a great classic always fascinating, I like v ery very much light, colors and the red coloring the water.

Great shot Gary. I don't know that I've seen a reflection of the bridge in the water before. I think I would have chosen a higher aperture setting and get a little definition in the lights. They seem a little blurred.

Hello Gary,

Bright capture for a bright day. Superb sharpness in this composition exposing the brilliance and even the stars. The exposure seems perfect and stars look pristine and not burnt. Excellent perspective balances well with the reflection under this well photographed bridge.

Jusni

Hello Gary
Great picture always welcomed from fantastic bridge. The sunset lights reflect in amazing mood to this very famous bridge. Bravo ihsan

Hello Gary,
Perfect morning mood with some bright stars still in the sky. It paid well off to get up that early. Well done, Rgds, Michael

Ah, the classic early morning shot! Nicely done; you got a few stars in there, too.
