Challenge: Bridges (Classic Editing)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S602Z
Location: San Francisco, CA
Date: Mar 5, 2003
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 160
Shutter: 1/160
Galleries: Cityscape, Architecture
Date Uploaded: Mar 5, 2003

 I took about 50 pics of the bridge from all kinds of different angles using a Polarizing Filter. I'll never take another picture outdoors in sunlight with this filter on. :) Cropped first, used Auto Contrast, then Levels to get the colors I like. Then used Hue/Saturation to increase the reds a little and the blues. Finally, used Unsharp Mask to get the clarity I liked.

Thanks Annida, I appreciate the compliment! I'm really "proud" of this picture since it's my best so far and I hope I can improve as time goes by. BTW, I really like your pictures also!

Nice colors, but I think it would have been better without the shatdow in the bottom right corner

Really nice shot of a beautiful bridge. Just love that colour. And that shadow in the water of the bridge is a nice touch also.

very nice composition... I never seem to get tired of seeing photos of this wonderful bridge... Your blue saturation in the sky is showing just a very slight amount of noise... possibly from pushing the blue saturation level? None-the-less, this is a great shot... i hope you decide to make a print available from this :) = 8 - setzler

Well, I knew this shot would be in there and you took a beauty. (I lived in S.F. for three years) Your focus is sharp, the composition is well done, and the colors are beautiful. Congratulation and good luck! -Clicker-

One of the most beautiful bridges in the world. Fine photo, perhaps just a touch strong on the colors?

Well taken shot - just a bit too obvious perhaps, for me.

Very good depth of field and vivid colors. Makes the bridge really punch out.
