Myth 2

I am still exploring black and white photography. I made this one yesterday when I took a guest to a viewpoint of Golden Gate. It was half covered with fog, of course not so surprising for Golden Gate. When I made the first photo called Myth, I had a straight perspective to the ...

Tree of Duo

This is another picture from my San Francisco architectural tour. While I was walking around the Market street, I saw this tree with pinky flowers. I placed my camera just under the tree and made the shooting vertical without really seeing the view. It turn out to be a good one. Even tough I liked the ...

Lights and Lines

I am working on a new project and I wanted to make some more San Francisco pictures. My intention was to shoot San Francisco skyline, Victorian Houses and Cable Car which are typical San Francisco postcard images. First of all, I could not really find a good spot to shoot Skyline. I am still working ...

Rocks, Sea and Golden Gate

One can find several places to shoot in San Francisco but Golden Gate is particularly papular… In this one, the focus is not really golden date, it is more secondary.

The last walk at the beach

Here is another San Francisco Baker Beach scene. I like the sunset and all the colors that it brings to sky and ground. This is again an HDR, 3 shots taken with 2 EV steps. There is a bit ghosting of the walking people which did not bother me since it gives a dynamic feeling ...

Baker Beach

While taking one of our guests to Baker Beach in San Francisco, I was aiming to shoot Golden Gate Bridge at sunset. We walked all the way to the end of the beach, which is the closest point to the bridge. The view was mostly blocked by rocks and the best way to overcome blockade ...
