The Bridge in the fog, again

The Golden Gate Bridge in a Sea of Fog

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.

The Bridge in the fog

Sometimes you wait years for the right weather to happen. This is one of those situations. I wanted the low fog, sunset and me actually near the bridge with my camera for once! This was my safe shot, the one I had in my head for a few years. The next shot is one where I experimented a bit more, same conditions but a totally different look. Click here to see what I mean.
