Golden Gate Bridge at Sunset is a wonderful sight! This was from earlier this year while shooting with my buddy Horace Kwan. We arrived at the Horseshoe Bay before sunset and took a bunch of shots this day. This location is on a little jetty that overlooks the bridge wonderfully!! Best spots to photograph the bridge:
1) Fort Point
2) Baker’s Beach
3) Battery Spencer
4) Horseshoe Bay
5) Vista Point
All locations will get you great shots! If you can, try em all!! On Baker’s beach watch out for the nudists during the summer!! Go early or late so you won’t get a “full moon or moons” overlooking the bridge! LOL have fun!

I prefer to leave comments here instead of on facebook. Another wonderful shot from my favorite bridge. It never gets old, does it? Great work, yet again, Pete.
Marianne, thanks! Horace knew the right spot!!! Hope we can shoot together one day! Have fun! Pete
Great picture! And since we’re members of the Presidio Yacht Club, I knew the exact location for this photo. Is it available yet as an iPad desktop photo?
Alexus, thanks!!! =)) Must be great to sail under the bridge!! I just added the photo to the IPad section for you! Have fun! Pete
Simply WOW! You’ve created something new from a classic scene. The water really goes surreal with all those exposures mixed together.
Scott, thanks! When I set up before sunset…I knew a great shot was to come! =) Have fun! Pete
Beautiful shot, Pete! Love the color of the water, and the general glow of the image.
