Of the last two the first is the more appealing to me. The appeal is mainly the strong composition and the fog. That said, I cannot muster much enthusiasm for any of these. The fog rolls in almost every afternoon and on some days it can really add mood and drama to the scene. Other days, including your time there, it is sort of blah.
I visited the Marin headlands overlook of the GG bridge one afternoon 7 years ago. The evening I was there I never got the typical fog so I stayed until midnight shooting at night. This is one of the most heavily photographed areas in the US. The traffic on an regular weekday evening was so bad I could not park within a miles walk. There were hundreds and hundreds of visitors with a great many sporting DSLRs and tripods. I met photographers who had been coming there several times a week for years. On top of that there are relatively few choices for decent compositions featuring the bridge. Under those circumstances, it seems any photo for public consumption needs to be at least on a par with the many thousands that can be found on flickr and other sites. That is a tall order. ...Show more →
The third picture that you picked was taken early morning. I was about the only one there on that day. People prefer to sleep. So if you want to do it again, do like I did: let your wife sleep and just sneak out.
