Out of the Gloom: Golden Gate Bridge and Fog

Few photos have eluded me like this one. After nearly 10 years the stars aligned and I was finally free to photograph the fog blanketing the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco at sunset this past week. What makes this photo so difficult to capture? To name a few things; the weather conditions have to be just right, you have to recognize the conditions as being just right, you have to be in a close proximity to the area, you have to be able to break away from whatever you’re doing, you have to fight San Francisco traffic, you have to scramble for limited parking, you have to find the right place to shoot from and finally you have to hope the weather conditions don’t disintegrate before the lighting is optimal. At last it all worked out and to top it all off I got to meet Frederic Larson, the famous San Francisco Chronicle photographer, who was shooting near by.

  • Another awesome photo Jim. Certainly well worth waiting 10 years for. For all of us that don't live in SF getting there in the first place is the first hurdle we have to jump over.
  • 10 year wait was worth this post. Really sharp Jim. I really like how you framed this.
  • Yes, years of near misses definitely paid off.
  • Well, i can only say.. it was definitely worth the scramble. What an amazing shot!!!
