San Francisco

[Grumpy John]

Some images of San Francisco as seen from the deck of the Norwegian Sun back in October 2017.
Canon 7D, Sigma 24-105.
Images taken between 6:15 P.M. and 6:30 P.M. local time.

#1 f10, 1/13, ISO 100 @105mm, Just marginally better than sailing out of Sydney, you get to sail under the Golden Gate Bridge. No sailing under the Coathanger in Sydney.


#2 f22.0, 1/200 ISO 400 @ 62mm


#3 f4.0, 1/80 ISO 400 @ 46mm. Under the bridge.


#4 f4.0, 1/500, ISO 400 @ 24mm. Not as speccy as the Coathanger IMHO, but still a magnificent sight.

I like Vancouver as a visit. San Fran is a good visit. Nearly as good as Sydney.

But there are sailings under the coat hanger . From a cruise to New Zealand. I had a picture which showed how close it was to the bridge but it seems to have taken fright.

[Grumpy John]

The four sailings I've done from Sydney all set sail from circular Quay, wrong side of the bridge.

Vancouver reminded me so much of Melbourne.

It was a step up on Seattle. I could live there easily

Your pics are good enough for a magazine John. The only thing I'd do is remove the crane in #1. It's pretty sharp for 1/13th. Other than that, all beautiful. #2 is a beauty.

Thanks for the kind words Isac. I see where you're coming from regarding the crane, it's a hard choice sometimes as to show the image as you saw it, or to clean up some of the less pleasing aspects. In hindsight a single crane a tad distracting from the image, on the other hand a skyline dotted with cranes would be rather interesting.
