The Golden Gate

    Explore 1 (Front Page).

    I have to admit, it would have been difficult to take a bad picture of the Golden Gate Bridge with this crazy sunset going on all around it. This was one of my favorites though because I really like the pattern that the receding waves made in the foreground and the reflection doesn't hurt either. Thanks for looking!

    1.3 Sec @ f/10 ISO 800 (I needed to keep my exposures relatively short to preserve some detail in the water and waves)

      Oooo...aaaaaaahhhhh. Who says you can not take an original photo of this bridge? Nature supplies an infinite number of colorful backdrops.

      Don't sell yourself short. Just because the colors are out there doesn't mean everyone can capture them like this. I'm glad it made Explore. You deserve to be on there.
