I thought one more shot of the Golden Gate Bridge wouldn't hurt anyone. I hope I was right. . . . . . . :lol:

Great shot, is that fog above it? or the clouds?

Mike, that was fog that was still hovering over the bridge. It did eventually clear, but we were long gone on a tour bus to another location. I did shoot some with hardly any fog, but I liked the angle of this shot.

The sepia effect is great and works well with the fog. The picture taked advantage of the weather rather than sees it has a hinderance, nice work.

Nah, the $.25 viewers were on the other side of the bridge where the gift shop was. My wife and I were fortunate to be the only people on a smaller tour bus, and the driver knew we wanted to get some different angles on the bridge. I did get some from the other side on another day. . . . and I used a $.25 viewer as a brace for my 10D. . . . . :D

Beautiful. I just love the curves of that bridge. The portrait layout is perfect for this shot and the waves and diagonal slope lead the eye nicely to the bridge and on upward to the fog and across the seaway. Bravo.

lovely! the sepia is great. What method did you use to convert to sepia?

pdrow, I converted to Grayscale, then went to Duotone mode with a goldish Pantone solid matte color. I hope that answers your question, and thanks for looking.
