What a city!
Taking dramatic aerial pictures of San Francisco requires no skill. Choose a clear day with light clouds, make your way to the top of Bernal Hill Park and bang away.
That’s all it took to make these.
Downtown and the Bay Bridge. 135mm.
The Golden Gate from Bernal Hill Park. 135mm.
All on the Nikon D700 using ‘all metal era’ 135mm Nikkor MF lens, made exactly 40 years ago. Experts assure me that the lens is garbage compared to the latest and greatest, which just goes to show that most ‘photographers’ should stick to test charts and brick walls.
These are stunning.
This is an amazing shot! I know exactly where you were standing. I have taken this same picture. I could see the Golden Gate bridge in the distance. But I didn’t believe it was possible to capture it from there. Obviously it was. My guess is that there are very few photographers who can do this! Congrats!
