On a sweltering 100 degree day in California, I took to the creek. I read and watched tiny fish swim underneath me and listened to the forest ambiance. After a few hours of silence I heard a tiny rustling on the bank just next to me and turned around– and it was a RATTLESNAKE! A large rattlesnake had come out of the woods to take a drink.

I watched as this couple passed along this hidden gem of a beach in California. The red sunset with the red flowers in the foreground help give a sense of romance to this photo that some might not pickup on at first glance.

I’ve been visiting this part of the California coastline since before I can remember. Every year my parents would take my siblings and I camping in the redwoods just a few miles away from this very stretch of Hwy 1. I still come back to this place whenever I get a chance, it’s just too beautiful and too full of fond memories to stay away for long. This morning was my first time visiting with a drone, and it was an incredible experience getting to see this place that I love from a new perspective

This photo is a photo of first’s for me. It was my first time visiting the US, travelling alone and using my first ever DSLR camera. It was the first time I witnessed strong, crashing waves and titanic rock structures. I was absolutely mesmerized by the sight of the splashing water and chilled to the bone by the cold sea breeze. I will forever remember how intimidating it was to try and capture all of this beauty through a small lens, and I can honestly say that this photo did not do it justice.

Taken a few summers back at Santa Cruz while we were heading back to our camp spot. The air was getting colder, so my friends and I spent the rest of the night roasting marshmallows.

This was the very first photograph I captured on my very first trip to California. After parking my car in the early morning darkness, I made my way to the shore, and was treated to this amazing sunrise.

This shot encapsulates the beauty of a sunrise hitting the city and the bridge, while people crawl their way into the city to begin their Friday evenings in style.

I was over the moon to finally get out and fly the drone on a night with very little wind. I’d been waiting weeks for this shot to finally have some potential… and I was over the moon at the resulting trails. Initially I thought it may have been inevitable that the bridge was slightly out of focus… however the focus point stayed tack sharp throughout the 8 second exposure.

Was staying at an airbnb on twin peaks. I thought the view from my room was fantastic, but then I happened to walk to this place called Christmas Tree point and was just mesmerised. Ended up trekking there again the next day and even record a full sunrise video . This perhaps is one of the most underrated places in SF. I am not really a photographer and have relied on unsplash community for great photographs…I thought this might be my chance to give back and share this beauty with the larger community.

Some friends and I visited San Francisco this past spring and came to Lands End to enjoy the waves and the sand. It was pretty windy/cold but we had tons of fun walking/jumping around. We sat on some nearby logs for a rest and took photos of what were seeing. I snapped a bunch of photos of everyone, caught this one of my friend gazing off at the bridge into the distance. This reminds me of fun times surrounded with friends in a new place, wondering about the future (which actually ended up being right back in SF!)

Another amazing vantage on offer in San Francisco is the view down market street from above the Ferry Building. This spot can offer great light for both sunrise and sunset… but my favourite is watching the sky light up in the background while looking directly down Market Street. What a city 👌

Staying in Sausalito recently, I took this picture while riding the ferry into San Francisco. Even though I lived in SF for years, I never took the ferry and was awestruck by this morning view. I’m sad I missed out on this beautiful commute for so many years.

Taken on a recent trip to Treasure Island… I didn’t realize that so much construction was taking place on Yerba Buena Island so my typically shooting spots weren’t accessible. It turned out to be a good thing and forced me to look for new perspectives… I found this frame near one of the old carparks on the road between Treasure and Yerba Buena Islands.

I’m quite happy I managed to get this iconic shot of the San Francisco cable cars… not just one but two! This is on the corner of Powell St and Bush St. I took the cable car all the way down to Market St and I must say the views you get along the way are well worth the $7 price tag on this trip.

A unique view of what used to be the tallest building in San Francisco (eclipsed by the new Salesforce Tower in 2018). The Transamerica Pyramid is still a prominent figure on the skyline and a must-see if you visit the city.

I spotted this tranquil place at Regional Park near Berkeley. I was planning to shoot some landscape photo but unfortunately, the day was leaden and cloudy. I wandered among the tall trees and suddenly trod into a place where the lighting and shadow concocted this ethereal scene. It was like a fairyland. I did not edit this photo much other than tweaking its exposure and temperature. I took the hike a weekend before my AP tests, so I was trying to escape from the stress. Hopefully, the photo could give you a shot of relaxing so that you can face your life with equanimity.

This is one of my favorite spots, not just to capture photos, but also to relax and admire the amazing architecture and incredible grounds. It is often very quiet during the mornings, which is my favorite time to get out and about. There is no shortage of amazing places to photograph in San Francisco.

I headed down to Golden Gate overlook, San Francisco to catch the sunset over the Golden Gate Bridge. While I was grabbing some shots of the bridge I looked down over the cliffs and the light coming in over the pacific onto the beach looked amazing. It could almost be a drone shot!

I got up and drove to the Golden Gate before the crowds. My favorite time of the day. It was around 7AM when I was crossing and capturing the fog over it. I made it to the beach right before sunrise. It was quite, moody, but beautiful. I was not able to see the sun but the sound of the ocean splashing and crashing on the rocks was extraordinary. Waves were not big but felt smooth. It is at that point when I felt the urge to capture that feeling. I put my filters on my camera and took a long exposure shot. The time before the shot, it is the time I treasure and sharing it makes me happy
