I have a shoot coming up in SF and a bit of free time.

Haven't been to SF in 30 Years....so what's fun to see and shoot?

Best Museums?

Kind of a big, sprawling question, given that you have access to everything from street photography to architecture to the ocean to landscapes to...

A great starting point is to search for "san francisco" in the forum, or perhaps to ask something with a bit narrower focus. :-)

SFMOMA just opened up a brand new $300M addition after a 2-year closure. Probably worth checking out.

Our next trip will not be completely planned around photography. I'm going to try to avoid punishing my wife that way. We'll spend some time in and around San Francisco and some up in the wine country and redwoods to the north. (We're driving up from L.A. so will have Big Sur, Monterey, etc. on the way up and back.)

If you haven't been there in 30 years, the de Young (art) and California Academy of Sciences museums have changed substantially - the older classic but earthquake damaged/unsafe older buildings have been replaced. They are in Golden Gate Park which is always a place to visit. We may track down, so to speak, some of the cable car and trolley action. I believe the line running along the harbor/embarcadero runs a variety of historic trolleys from San Francisco and other cities.

There is, finally, the new section of the Bay Bridge open on the east section from Treasure Island to Oakland.

Day trips away? Depends on what interests you. Wine country? Redwoods? Both Sacramento and the Monterey Bay area offer a range of possibilites as well. People try to hit Yosemite but I don't think I'd try that. Maybe a bus trip but then you have little time of your own or optimal times fro photography in the valley area, notwithstanding you aren't driving 4 hours or so both ways.

I'll second the recommendation to go see the "new and improved" SFMOMA.

Also Pier 24 which is free but requires reservations in advance. www.pier24.org They have some excellent photography exhibits and its right under the Bay Bridge so you've got some interesting shots there. Just to the West of it is the SF Fire Dept Boat and the Ferry Building.

TY guys for replies. Had a fantastic trip.

Saw Cal academy of sci and SFmoma, which were great but totally packed, that was pretty entertaining.

My fav though was Coit tower. SF is such an incredible place I got to get back!
