I took this photo a couple of weekends ago. I was at the Rock Springs Trail head parking lot with the San Francisco Amateur Astronomers club. Off to the right you cam see the moon and then you have the whole Milky Way arching over the city of San Francisco. This photo is a 360 panorama and was made with a Sony A7Sii and a Rokinon 8mm fish eye lens. If you download it and view it in a 360 photo viewer you will be amazed with what you see. I’m on IG @bryangoffphoto Stop by and say hi!

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.

What may not be obvious is that his back is near the edge of a cliff with about a 150 foot drop.

We did the full tourist experience when we visited Northern California and when we went on the boat tour of the Golden Gate Bridge the tour guide told us the paint color of the bridge was called “international orange”. The architects had to choose one color to paint the entire bridge and it was no coincidence that they chose a color that was inclusive and named it international as San Fran is the home to people from all over the world.

Karl the Fog was rolling in hard on a warm San Francisco afternoon. This was taken from across the bridge in the Marin Headlands.

Taken on my only visit to the US, when visiting Microsoft. I did not bring my camera but the kind people their loaned me a camera and took me out to see the sights.

I was chasing the sunset through San Francisco buildings trying to find a clear shot. After randomly driving around I didn’t find any so I gave up. On the drive home I randomly ran into this view. I pulled over in the emergency lane (nothing like adding some thrill into the chase) and took this shot. Life lesson: just in case you give up, keep your head up because you don’t know what’s around the corner.

How lucky I am. This shot was taken from the Car, when I was on the bridge. Luckily the traffic was slow moving due to a busy day. While most of the days are foggy near the bridge, somehow this Seagull added an extra layer beauty to this man made marvel. I strongly believe in the composition, probably that adds more creativity than rest of the photography technics. I don’t mind, passing the same bridge 1000 times, to get different compositions and dimension to experience the world in multiple bliss.

I took this picture as I walked across the bridge near sunset while chaperoning a group high school computer science students from Alabama. The view was spectacular.

This was taken north of San Francisco. I was hiking with my family and I had a film camera on me that I was shooting. I saw this and had to snap an iPhone picture of the view.

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.

Last minute plans that led us to a hazy morning glow under the bridge! Great times with great people!

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.

Spent a day in San Francisco. Walked out of City Light Books and this was the view. Beautiful.

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.

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.

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 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!
