San Francisco is a wonderful city.\u00a0 Never ever visit without a camera in tow.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Whether shooting casually along the streets, or visiting iconic locations, there is so much to shoot.\u00a0 It is a very vibrant city with lots of texture and diversity.<\/p>\n

I wanted to do an evening shoot on my last night of a recent visit.\u00a0 Hoping to photograph the Golden Gate Bridge at dusk, I realized this would be virtually impossible with no car.\u00a0 There are little or no public transportation options after business hours.\u00a0 So I started looking for other options … the Warf area, Coit Tower, Lombard Street, Twin Peaks … as I mentioned before, there are SO many places and things to shoot.<\/p>\n

I came across this location on Potrero Hill during my research.\u00a0 It was something different – less iconic, yet a stunning view, particularly with the foreground curving highway.\u00a0 So my colleague Logan and I set forth to find it.\u00a0 We took BART to the 16th street stop, then quickly came to realize our destination was much farther away than expected from the train station.\u00a0 We walked at least 30 minutes to get here, through some very rough neighborhoods of the Mission District and up several gargantuan hills.\u00a0 Unfortunately all light in the sky was lost by the time we arrived, but the view was still incredible.\u00a0 It was well worth the adventure.\u00a0 And not only did I get the image I wanted, and a fantastic dinner at an authentic, local neighborhood restaurant, but we could see AT&T Park as the Giants sealed their position in the World Series.<\/p>\n

I wish the small real estate of your screen could to this justice (click on image to enlarge).<\/p>\n
