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!

During sunset on mt Tamalpais I snapped this photo along the road while I was walking. I really enjoyed the colors and the light hitting the hillside. Stop by @its.matchu and say hi!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Visiting San Francisco only for half a day we tried to find out what was the best spot to take a picture form this landmark. Finally we decided to go to Marshall Beach. That day it was al little bit cloudy, but the moment we came at the beach the sun was already shining again.

There is a race happening. Long, spread out. Laps on the beach, and a jeep to monitor. Running through the sand, waves encroaching.

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.

It’s cool to think of the Golden Gate Bridge as the Statue of Liberty of the West Coast, seeing this for the first time defines the word freedom.

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.

Going to twin peaks was one of my favourite experiences in san fran. Especially because of this shot. Its literally just amazing

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.
