More photography at the Golden Gate Bridge today!
Check out my photography on IG at @brendanvanson.
Today, I got up for sunrise to shoot photography of the Golden Gate Bridge. This is now my 4th attempt on this trip to San Francisco to do some epic photography of the bridge. The first 3 times I've liked the images, but haven't loved them. So, I headed up towards Hawk Hill - one of the most popular places to take pictures of The Golden Gate Bridge.
Honestly, the Golden Gate Bridge is really easy to take pictures of. There are hundreds of locations you can photograph it. At the end of the day, it just comes down to light. In general, no matter what the angle, I prefer sunrise to sunset in San Francisco. It's around sunrise that you get fog, really nice clouds, and the locations are all quieter. It's generally all just photographers out.
Now, I couldn't get to Hawk Hill because of the US Government shut down. But, I did get to a spot just up the road to get some epic photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. I'm beyond happy with the location. Travel photography is a little bit about exploring. And, I've had so much fun exploring angles for photography in San Francisco.
Jodie and I spent the rest of the day exploring San Francisco. And, we just had an awesome time in the city.
Tomorrow on the photography channel we leave San Francisco and head down the Pacific Coast Highway.

That was a great photo of the sunrise over the Golden Gate Bridge! The Japanese Tea Garden looked really cool also. I almost went there and Golden Gate Park when I was last in San Francisco, but I ran out of time. I might head out to San Francisco sometime this spring, so I might get a good opportunity to visit it!

That shot you took of the cable car operator is cool, the cable car works by grabbing onto a cable and it goes uphill. I could spend a lifetime photographing San Francisco and not even come close to covering it all. The city does have it owns vibe. If you really want to see something fun do a search of the San Francisco Big Wheel Race, it takes place on Vermont Street.

Looking forward to your Japan videos to see your take on it. I've been there a couple of times and there are tons of things to shoot in Tokyo. Never made it to Mt. Fuji, but hopefully you will. Cherry Blossoms are great in spring, but I was there in winter both times. Be sure to check out the Skytree. Great views from inside and lit up nicely at night. Don't get in the long line, find the line for foreign visitors...it's much, much shorter, as in minutes instead of hours.

Nice shot. What I find most surprising is that you did not seem to have trouble with fog. Every photographer I know and the once I follow on youtube always complain about going to the GG Bridge to shoot only to find that you can hardly even see it through the fog. Guess you were lucky.

Would have been great to meet you! Do you do small workshops as you travel? Would have been great to tag along to try to get photos along with you in action. Food for thought for next time? (Yes, I live in San Francisco.)
@BrendanvanSon

+GreenTekHaus might take you up on that next time. And, no, I don't do small workshops really. However I generally do meet ups which have some teaching component to them. But, this trip to San Francisco was just too short to make one happen.

Brendan van Son Thanks, Brendan! Would be great to do a meet up next time then. The Faroe Islands are on my bucket list, as I saw this show on PBS a few years ago about a chef who went there to look at their culinary culture. Didn't look too appetizing, but the views were incredible and decided that I needed to go there someday. If the timing and my budget can handle it, I would like to go. We are supposed to go to Japan the first week of June to visit my in-laws, and my adult daughter's who live there. I also have a Tog friend there who I hope can go on a photo day trip with, if his schedule permits. Let us know more about your upcoming trips to Faroe and Japan, and I'll go if I can (meet up, or other). Thanks for the great work, photos, inspiration, -and always a quick, nice reply. All are very much appreciated! -Thank you, -Michael.

Hi Brendan, I will be in San Francisco in April. I have 2 mornings and one afternoon to take some pictures. For the Golden Gate bridge, which locations would you definitely recommend? Thanks in advance. Best
@68spires
@68spires 6 лет назад
Thanks Daniel. With the exception of Slacker Hill I have read and research all of these places. If I had the time I would go to all of them. Since I will have basically three opportunities to shoot, if the weather helps, I just wanted to know in which of these places I might have a better probability of getting that epic picture. Since you are a local, where do you recommend to park a car near Marshall's beach, the parking close to the Golden Gate overlook , or on the pull over on Lincoln Blvd, close to the Trailhead for Battery to Bluffs Trail. Again thanks for your inputs.

Funny - that road is closed just past the crossroads/parking lot before sunrise every day already. There have been mixed reactions from the rangers there to walking past. Sometimes they would say that they didn't care as long as you didn't have a car up there and others have been issued tickets for being past the gate.
