It was last Saturday that we, my roommate and me, decided to go to Golden Gate Bridge and couple of other places in San Francisco. To be frank this geek has seen enough and more photos of the Golden Gate Bridge, that visiting the bridge was one of my last items in the ‘When at San Francisco’ to-do list. But either way having nothing much to do for the day, we decided on that small ‘get-you-ass-out-of-house’ plan. Now that photography has become my immediate hobby, the camera follows me to all places except a few, that i guess by now you would’ve guessed.
Yes, it’s the most photographed bridge in the world. Given that fact, i was wondering how much of different snap could i take from what has been already taken? Well there were a few shots that i could’ve taken by risking my life or falling into frigid waters below – I opted not to. But nothing could prepare me for the view from the hill adjacent to the bridge, it begs to be photographed.
There were a lot of people at that spot, everyone had a camera in their hand, and i was quite proud that i had the best camera. Yes just the best camera but not the lens for the job. All i had was a 18-105mm kit lens that came with my D90. There was a guy who was having a D3000 with an even more ‘gigantic’ lens. But i did make the best out of what i had.
Next stop would be to walk on the bridge…
