Golden Gate Picture of the day

This was tak­en 2 weeks ago and is my first attempt at the mature sub­ject of the Gold­en Gate Bridge peek­ing out of the fog. Tak­en from the Marin Head­lands, be pre­pared to sit around wait­ing for the right con­di­tions. Bring a book or load the iPod with a col­lec­tion of pho­tog­ra­phy pod­casts. And be pre­pared for the cold and wind. Also, the fog can move very fast and the pic­ture can be gone in the time it takes you to get out of the car and focus your cam­era. I did a fair amount of lev­el cor­rec­tion in Pho­to­shop and a lit­tle red sat­u­ra­tion to get the effect I was look­ing for. Check­ing the web cams (see the link in the right col­umn) can help sur­vey the con­di­tions which may change dras­ti­cal­ly by the time you get there.
