Photography is a unique form of expression. Capturing a moment in time which reflects your vision in making the image is the creative challenge.
When I shot this photograph on a stunning San Francisco morning, I was thrilled by the soft light on the city and bridge at daybreak and moonset.

Stunning – the Golden Gate Bridge never ceases to amaze, no matter what light we capture it in. Have never had the privilege spend time photograph “The Bridge” during early morning light. Thank you for sharing, Jane.

I love the vantage point of your image… was there October 1013 and 2014, each time to light was constantly changing. I never grow tired of this subject matter. I love the California Coast and hope to return soon! All the best in chasing the light…
