San Francisco gallery added

[alanuk]

I've just returned home from a trip to California, Oregon and Washington. I've added the first gallery of photos taken whilst in the San Francisco area and these can be seen on my website www.alanrolfe.co.uk (http://www.alanrolfe.co.uk) and click on the Gallery link from the menu (or simply click on the photo of Golden Gate Bridge).

As always, constructive comments are welcome.

Thanks

Gorgeous photographs! The bridge from Baker Beach and the streetcar terminus are my favourites.

You're right about the sky behind the Palace of Fine Arts. It's so vivid it almost looks fake! :o

Thanks, Neil, for your comments.

Yes, I was very lucky there. I went close to midday which is really the "wrong" time to photograph the site because of the harshness of the light but then I got a decent sky so who cares! The original photo was under-exposed (still learning!!) so I bumped up the levels in two stages.. one to bring out the detail in the building and the other to lighten the sky a little.
I'm wondering if the sky should really be brighter and maybe I'll play around with the photos later when I have added those from Oregon and Washington to the site.
Thanks again.
