Bay Bridge and Treasure Island. San Francisco, California. May 9, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
This is one of my favorite morning views of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge as it soars high above the Embarcadero on its way across San Francisco Bay towards Treasure Island and Oakland and points east.

The water was extremely smooth on this somewhat hazy morning along the Embarcadero near the San Francisco Giants’ ATT Park.
(A note: It was something of a pleasant surprise when this photo emerged on the home page from the queue this morning. So much has happened in the last month or so – daughter’s wedding, moving a son from Seattle to the SF Bay Area, conclusion of another school year, etc. – that the day I made this photo seems like it might have been a year ago!)

A waterfront scene near the Embarcadero in San Francisco, California.
I often go to The City and wander along the Embarcadero and nearby areas with my camera. This photograph was made near the boat landing right behind ATT Park – home of the Giants. There are often large ships anchored out beyond this part of the San Francisco shoreline, and they are a continuing subject for me.

Holiday Lights, San Francisco Waterfront. San Francisco, California. December 21, 2007. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.
This photograph was made from the east side of Treasure Island, in the middle of San Francisco Bay. This is a classic location for night shots of the San Francisco skyline, and on this night I stopped as I headed back from a winter solstice event at Muir Woods knowing that the holiday lighting would make the view special.
While I was there I also shot a multi-exposure panoramic stitch of the scene:

This is perhaps my favorite San Francisco photograph. Even though the scene is well known, this image was created it a way that permits rather large prints. I currently have one that is about 3 feet wide and it could go much larger.
