I had a dinner is San Francisco today. I didn't want to pass up this photo opportunity, so I left early and came in from the north over the Golden Gate Bridge. I could see fog around the bridge from a distance, and I was hoping the conditions would be the same as my magical first trip over this bridge last year, but this turned out to be too much fog. Still I had fun experimenting with camera settings, slowly figuring out to overexpose (by about 4 or 5 stops), and to increase the saturation (Nikon picture style "more vivid"). Ultimately I tried a slow exposure to blur the traffic. When this girl walked into my shot I knew I had my favorite image. I love how it looks like everything is disappearing into the fog. Problem...I didn't have my tripod again. This time I accidentally brought it into the house. It's supposed to stay in the car. So this should definitely NOT have been a hand-held shot. Otherwise, I'm really happy with it! f/22, 1/6, ISO125, 45mm, more vivid.
