The Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge

A couple of weeks ago I went to San Francisco to attend a seminar. We had a few extra days to go site seeing and we wore ourselves out. It was a blast and I really enjoyed San Francisco. It’s hard to get a feel for just how big this bridge is. Look on the bridge and you’ll see the cars going across and from those you can get a small sense for the size. What was wild was that at times a fog would roll in and you wouldn’t be able to see the bridge at all.

So, I was able to visit New York a couple of months ago. My shooting that week was horrible. I had stabbed myself in the hand with a knife about 4 days before I left (a whole other story of my total lack of common sense sometimes) so I was popping pain pills. Plus I couldn’t grasp the trigger of my tripod without grimacing. Overall I was super disappointed with the shots I got there. I don’t know if it was the pain pills or lack of sleep, but I also shot a bunch of stuff at ISO 1600 for some stupid reason. Anyways, I hope I get to go back sometime with a clearer head and fully functional hand!
