golden gate sunset 2

Posted by danthro (Suburbia, United States) on 4 April 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

A special thanks to Kevin Falk for giving me a few tips for processing sunsets, though he is certainly not to fault for my poor execution. Thanks Kevin!

sorry i'm not able to catch up on everyone's blogs as i'd like to, focusing on other pursuits more now.

Comments, feedback, criticism, suggestions, etc. are always appreciated. Thanks!

Nice! Love the drama in theis image and kudos for getting a more individual view of the bridge, it plays a subtle but powerful role here.

A superb capture. The sky is absolutely beautiful and the bridge seen so small. Very nice.

So superb colours that I did not even notice the Golden gate in the background. I will be in SF in August, I hope to see everyday so nice colours !

@Denis: thanks a lot. the bright colors are mostly the work of photoshop (making the colors that were there much much brighter and more saturated than in real life). but though it's not always super colorful, it is always beautiful.

Frank from Germany

Wow, very nice sunset.

Beautiful composition and capture of the golden clouds and final moment of blue for the sky above.
The partial view of the Golden Gate Bridge is the icing on the cake for this photograph!

Nice shot!! I like it ;)

Oeilonirique from France

It was certainly difficult not to burn the picture on the right side by "shooting into the sun". The result is great.

PS: You find the answer to your question on my latest picture on my photoblog.

Oh wonderful!

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan

Vrey beautiful colors for that sunset. Cropping just on the right end of the big tree could be an option to take away the highlight and to concentrate more on the bridge.
