About This was taken the same evening as Golden Gate Lights (previously submitted). but a little earlier. I thought it would be interesting to take a direct view of the lights that shine upon San Francisco's most treasured landmark. There is another light just like the one in the bottom left behind me. The second beam of light is barely visible at the top of the image. More of my images can be seen at http://www.artbeacon.com/jmg-galleries. Thanks for your time and comments.

amazing tones and a exellent prespective!

Wow! This is a great composition with great lighting. I'm sure we have all seen hundreds of shots of the GGB but never from this perspective.


Barry Walthall   {K:5386} 1/14/2004
Again excellent angle and wonderful lighting....a very fine image,Jim.

You always manage to find a great perspective. The composition is stunning. The texture seems a bit odd, though. Is it due to jpeg compression or it is an effect that you planned?


Jim Goldstein   {K:21230} 1/14/2004
Thanks Tom and everyone else. The texture is odd due to a mixture of lighting and reciprocity failure. Also in case you're unaware the face of the span is covered in rivets. I'll post a picture in the near future showing this a little more clearly. Hope that helps with your question.

Another great shot of the same object. Again, the perspective is superb
Love the colours
Outstanding work

The flood light tower gives this composition impact but I wonder if you could have shifted your camera position to provide just a tad more separation between it and the upright structure?

To continue about the 2xtowers shot, the blue in the middle ground is the result of the in-camera double exposure. When I did the shot I planned it for a clear day for best saturation. The Tribeca scene was exposed against the initial towers shot which itself was composed by framing them to loom over a cobalt-to-black sculpture with mountainous-like edges that was situated at the towers plaza entrance. The reexposure of the clear blue sky above the Tribeca scene adding most of that blue. Recently I recolorized the towers to grey, but also considered likewise recolorizing the blueish area against the sculpture and buildings, including the shadow, but aesthetically I preferred this look instead.

A great angle on a great landmark. Nicely done.
(Thanks for your comment on my Glacier pic, and good call on my ps-newbie status. I'm trial-and-erroring my way with it right now with mixed results. I'll revisit this file when I know what I'm doing!)

Great color, contrast, and composition. The extreme perspective makes this picture really stand out!
