Wow! 30 second exposure on the 2nd image! Very nice. The Golden Gate is such an amazing bridge. Your images do it justice. Both are really top notch and worthy of a large print!
Best regards, David
Thanks David, appreciate the encouragement and glad you found them to be worthy of a large print. Thank you.

Ya did good Parul. Have you considered using a Neutral Density filter to get longer exposures without having to wait quite so long for it to get darker on its own. Or maybe even combining these two images to get the best of both. For some reason, it feels like the ideal version is half way between these two. But a very nice composition of something that's been shot to death. Good job.
Peter, you just made my day!! Appreciate the constant encouragement and guidance. I actually think, i might have used a ND filter but not sure. You are correct about the sweet spot being somewhere in-between 2 images. With my limited PP skills, I didn't try doing it. I will give it a shot.

The perspective on one is fantastic. Great processing as well.
Thanks, the first one when I shot didn't seem that great. But the general consensis seem to lean towards the first one being the stronger of the two.

I'm digging the lighting on both. However, #1 has better overall color. Its a shame you cannot combine the two images, and get the SFO lights and light streaks crossed with the Golden Hour colors. I love the usage of the TSE. I have the first gen, and still use it to this day.
When we went to the same lookout last summer, clouds and wind made capturing said image all but impossible. Then the fog rolled in.
Thanks James, The TS Lens is just awesome and the images always come out crisp and sharp. It's always stressful when I use TS Lens as it takes me a lot of tinkering to get the focus just right. Still trying to learn the TS lens.
You are correct about clouds and fog at the GG bridge. I just lucked out the 2 days I stayed there. Thanks
Beautiful shots. I've been there several times and each time I can't get over what an incredible view San Franciscans have of their bridge and city. Well done.

I completely agree about the SF View from this location. Every time I visit SF, I go to this location just to photograph and it never gets old. Thank you and glad you liked it.

David, after you mentioned, I went back and looked again and I was surprised that it was a 30second image. Glad you liked it and I am definitely planning on doing a metal print of the first image. Thanks

The first image is a 2 shot pano and using a TS lens really made it easy to capture. Glad you liked it. Thanks

Thanks James, general consensus seems to be the light in #1 and I agree. Well, thanks to Peter, who did PM with the steps that he did to get both images merged to get the best of both images. I will give it a try and repost. I love using the TS lens but its always a bit stressful as I always seem to struggle with getting the settings just right.

These are very good shots....
Gregg, thank you very much, I continue to learn form all your amazing landscape work.
Parul - the more you use that lens, the faster and easier it will get, and in short order, you won't be thinking about it at all anymore - just making great images.

I am working on getting out more often with it! Will hit you up with questions. Thanks
