Golden Gate Bridge Sunset

I decided to get out and take some pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge yesterday at sunset.  It was a beautiful San Francisco evening and I hopped in the car and headed out to Crissy Field.

Wednesday Night Races

As I arrived, there were some evening beer can races in progress which you see in the first picture which I shot as I waited for the sun to set.  They’re a bit washed out because of the sun, but I thought it was an nice effect with the gate in the background, the fleet heeled over on their tack, and some people out walking their dogs.

Below you’ll see the pictures I took with the setting sun and into dusk of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Trying to remember to move around and not get focused on taking the same pictures, St. Francis Yacht club looked like it would make a good picture nestled behind the dunes and looking out onto the bay.  I shot this picture with my white balance set on tungsten to give it the blue tinge that you see.

Also, the last picture is of another group taking photos on Crissy Field.  It caught my eye because one woman was wrestling with the photo reflector in the evening wind.  It made me feel better that I’m not the only one that will break out a reflector for photos around town.
