San Francisco Buildings, Foot of Market

San Francisco Buildings, Foot of Market

San Francisco Buildings, Foot of Market. San Francisco, California. September 16, 2009. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.

Forms of large downtown San Francisco buildings near the foot of Market street in morning light.

Near the foot of Market Street, close to the Ferry Building and the Bay, the morning light coming across the water lit these buildings in a special way – something to do, I think, with the low angle of the light, the fact that the fog was just clearing, and the blue sky with thin clouds above. Although the buildings are in direct sun, the light is partially softened and interrupted by the remaining fog clouds over the Bay to the east. When I shot this I had a pretty good idea that it would end up as a black and white photograph.

Night urban landscape of brick and glass buildings near ATT&T Park in San Francco, California.

Although these brick buildings – at least the larger one in the background – appear to be relatively recent construction, the patterns and textures of the bricks are still interesting to me. As I continue to squeeze every last photo out of my dusk shoot during a Giants game at AT&T past week here is a photograph that I shot as a light was really starting to go. By a combination of an IS lens and very carefully hand holding the camera on the top of a low wall I managed to get a decent exposure without a tripod.

Urban Landscape, Dusk – San Francisco

Urban Landscape, Dusk - San Francisco

Urban landscape – downtown buildings of San Francisco near AT&T Park at dusk.

This “almost-night” photograph was shot hand held from the upper level of AT&T Park just as the light was getting to the point where shooting this way would have been impossible. This is an urban landscape – and despite the very different subject matter I’ve photographed wild landscape scenes with very similar lighting effects.

Black and white photograph looking up Second street from AT&T Park with San Francisco downtown and incoming fog.

I was leaving a Giants-Cubs game (Giants won!) at AT&T Park when I saw this scene looking up toward downtown San Francisco with the classic view of the fog rolling in over the city in the early evening. Yes, I take my camera to ball games, too. :-)
