SFin96 - Golden Gate Bridge

PreDigiCam...from the Marin County side and looking back toward what is supposed to be the city...I think I was using my Pentax K1000 for this one...

The reds and the sky tones are amazing and the fog absorbing the bridge are wonderful. What a great photo of the bridge...

You see lots of photos of this bridge but this is one of the more orginal, great work.

Almost has a vintage quality to the photo, was this shot on film?

Yes, this was a film pic. Scanned with an average scanner. No touchup with PShop or anything, though.
