Coit Tower Sunset, San Francisco

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Easily one of the three most recognizable landmarks in San Francisco, Coit Tower is often lit beautifully by artificial and natural lighting. At the right time of day you can use both of these lighting types to capture dramatic photographs of this commonly photographed subject.

One thing I’m quite embarrassed about is the fact that I’ve yet to visit Coit Tower and enjoy the view from the top of the tower. After living in San Francisco for nearly 10 years you’d think I’d have visited all the classic locations. One of these days I’ll make it to Coit Tower and to Alcatraz too.

Jim, I've seen several of your Coit Tower/Telegraph Hill photos and for some reason this one appeals to me the most I think. You've really nailed the lighting with the just-right back ground sky, the artificial light on the tower, and windows of the buildings below illuminated from internal lights.

Take care,

Dan

Great image Jim. The house lights on the bottom help this. I haven't been inside the tower either, just walked around the parking lot. Alcatraz is pretty cool, I'd recommend checking it out.

@Luca Thanks for the comment and your email. This particular photo was taken from Treasure Island. This location can provide some rather stunning views of San Francisco when the weather cooperates.
