Bay Bridge

Being in and around San Francisco presents an amazing opportunity for a photographer. On a clear night sky, the San Francisco skyline offers a breath taking view with the bay bridge as seen from Treasure Island.

What made this shot a challenge was that I did not have a tripod with me. I went along the narrow stretch looking for that smooth surface which would give me the angle I was looking for. Not having a steady tripod, I also struggled with keeping my shot steady but I had a few tricks up my sleeves and was intent was getting my shot. I must admit, looking at this shot makes me very happy and that this journey of photographic adventures is only going to get more exciting...

Golden Gate Bridge



This will always be a special photograph for me. I recently bought a Nikon D5100 and being in California, the Golden Gate Bridge was the obvious 'subject'. I was accompanied by my roommate and we made our way towards San Francisco. It was freezing but luckily it wasn't foggy (or raining). It was almost close to midnight and after a short trek from where we parked, we reached this amazing spot which gave this breathtaking view of the Golden Gate bridge.
