The light and shadows on the water caught my eye.

Golden Gate Bridge, North Tower
North Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. Taken after sunset.
Golden Gate Bridge at Twilight
After too many failed attempts of shooting the Golden Gate Bridge, I can tell you the secret. On a clear day, you want to wait till sun has set and the towers are lit. Twilight is the perfect time. You want a little color in the sky. This shot is a little later than ideal. It’s taken from the second turn out on Cozumel road which goes up into the Marin Headlands.

The North Tower of the Golden Gate bridge has become one my favorite photographic subjects. This shot is from Battery Spencer.

Golden Gate Bridge at Sunset from Fort Baker
Fort Baker is a beautiful spot at sunset. On one side is this view of the Golden Gate Bridge and on the other is a panoramic view of San Francisco.
Golden Gate Bridge just after sunset
Taken on an unusually clear evening just at the start of summer. Confirming what I learned last January, the Golden Gate bridge looks best after sunset, when there is still a touch of color in the sky and the towers are lit from below.

Mike vs. The Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge has always frustrated me as a subject. I find it very difficult to get a picture that I don’t dislike. I was hoping to break my zero for too many to count streak of outings to shoot the bridge. Tonight’s outing was at least not a strike out. Taken from Baker Beach.
Update: Reaction has been good to this image so I’m declaring this round for myself. I’m now 1 for 15 or so with the bridge.
