Morning photograph of the circular area of the Zeum plaza with a small group of people.

I frequently photograph in downtown San Francisco while on foot, walking various urban streets and ending up wherever my eyes lead me. On this day I had gone to the City on the train and first wandered along the shoreline of the San Francisco Bay, very familiar photographic territory for me. I headed up Market into the downtown area and then began to loop back toward the Caltrain station, stopping in the Moscone Center area along the way. I crossed the pedestrian bridge and ended up on the walkways and plaza surrounding the “Zeum,” and finding interesting light and almost not people stayed a while to photograph the place before continuing on to my train.

El Capitan, Clouds Rest, and Half Dome – Morning Light

Hardly need to identify the subject of this photograph! It was taken from that place – the Wawona Tunnel View. Although it is nearly impossible to create a new view of this scene, I’ll mention a few things that are different from the usual “line up with other photographers and photograph the sunset” shots. This was done with a rather long lens – shot with the 100-400mm, it is morning, the actual light was quite hazy and filtered.

As to why anyone would shoot this spot… well, there is a reason that everyone stops and gawks from this spot… ;-) Sometimes I stop there as I pass by and don’t bother to even get the camera out.
