The Bridge in the fog, again

The Golden Gate Bridge at sunset on a foggy day by Paul Pratt.

I took this photograph on the same evening as this one. I wanted to get my safe shot in before experimenting a bit. I’m happy I experimented. This was taken using two filters; a 2 stop ND and a circular polarizer. I find the combination of those two often results in great motion blur and very strong colours which don’t require much tweaking in post. If you have any similar or even wildly different technique tips please share them in the comments.

    Fantastic shot. The fog looks like a blanket over the city.
