Golden Gate from Battery Spencer
334 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Battery Spencer, Sausalito, California
Battery Spencer, Sausalito, California
Battery Spencer is an old military bunker designed to defend against enemy ships attempting to enter the San Francisco Bay. As such, it has a commanding view of the famous Golden Gate Bridge, and many of the best and most iconic features of the city of San Francisco, my home.
When framing the composition of this photo, it was important for me to show the entire scope of San Francisco. This photo includes Alcatraz Island and The Bay Bridge’s incredible dancing lights on the left, and extends all the way to the Outer Sunset district on the right. This VAST photo is of such high resolution, that if you look close, you can even see a number of people taking their sunset walk on Baker Beach all the way to the right of the frame.
More San Francisco iconic features, like Soutro Tower and Coit Tower are prominent in the photo as well. The Transamerica Building can also clearly be seen through the cables of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Additionally, this VAST photo captures a historical moment: the construction of the Salesforce Tower – the new tallest building on the Western coast of the United States. It will forever change the skyline of this famous city, and this photo captures that transitional moment in history.
I stood on the edge of this former bunker for about two and a half hours, watching the occasional brave tourist come and go. To make this shot work, I had to wait for that critical window when the lights illuminate the bridge and the city, but the sky still has a colorful blue hue to it.

Print only
Our photographic prints are created using a specialty, large-format fine art printer designed to produce archival, museum-grade prints. They are true "chromogenic" prints: light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom using state-of-the-art lasers to produce the sharpest possible image. Click on the icons below to learn more or click here to explore further.
Our photographic prints are available in one of two finishes: glossy and lustre. Glossy prints have a rich, silky saturation and are great for environments where the lighting and reflections have been carefully thought through. Lustre prints have a bright, sparkle-like finish that diffuses reflections and are therefore more versatile for environments where the lighting and reflections are less under your control.
Your print comes with two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one that you will affix to the finished piece and one that remains standalone. Additionally, your print's provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
Acrylic glass display
Our acrylic glass displays are ready-to-hang works of art that contain one of our photographic prints sealed between flame-polished acrylic glass and an aluminum backing. A hidden mounting brace on the rear causes the display to gracefully "float" off the wall for a sleek, modern frameless look that complements nearly any decor style.
