Great night, awesome bridge - a photo on Flickriver

I like San Francisco quite a bit (then again, who doesn’t?) and when I am there my hotel is basically next to the Bay Bridge, so I end up with a lot of pictures of this fine structure. But that is ok with me. After all, I like shooting bridges and this one is hard to beat. The evening that I took this shot was somewhat foggy, which is fun for me since it makes for some interesting photographic possibilities. Plus, it was somewhat cool which is always nice to experience when you are coming from the Texas heat (this was back in August). This was a 5 exposure HDR, and looking back at the original files it is hard to believe I got a decent picture out of them. I mean the fog seemed to be everywhere and the images were pretty dark, but hey thanks to the fine folks that created Nik HDR Efex Pro, I was able to walk away with a keeper!

You can read my review and HDR tutorial for HDR Efex Pro here:

I will be traveling for the rest of the week so I will catch up with your photos as soon as I can. Thanks for stopping by!
