Fog adds magic to so many different kinds of scenes. It's one of the things I was most excited about when I moved to Marin County -- fog heaven.
The San Francisco skyline from the Marin side is a classic-looking view, but it's surprisingly difficult to align the perfect conditions for a powerful image. I have photographed in the area dozens (if not hundreds) of times over the last decade, and this is one of the best combinations of high clouds and low fog in my memory.
Of course, just because there is beauty doesn't mean a VAST photo is possible. Low fog is notorious for producing atmospheric shimmer effects, which ruin high-resolution efforts. Thankfully, not only were the conditions perfect this day, but by changing my location I was able to minimize this effect to capture this image. I hope you enjoy it!

Our ready-to-hang canvas prints are created using a specialty printer that carefully lays pigment inks down onto archival-quality fine art canvas material. The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.
