San Francisco's moonrises have become famous tourist spectacles. Dozens, if not hundreds, of photographers and sky watchers will gather in classic locations to watch the moon rising over the bridges and city skyline.
Crowds aren't really my thing. I prefer to hike and explore. So I decided to head a couple miles away from the crowds, take a walk up a mountainside trail, and see what I could find. Having hiked here previously, I knew the area had potential.
I was initially thinking to find a view of the city and skyline, so I could zoom way in and catch it up close. But not much could have prepared me for the visual feast of golden light, right as the moon came up. I knew I had to show a larger scene, with the complete view of the San Francisco skyline, and the beautiful Marin Headlands in the foreground.
With a normal photo, this wouldn't amount to much, because there wouldn't be enough detail. But this is a VAST photo. You can enjoy the Golden Gate Bridge and each of its red cables, the individual buildings of the city skyline behind it, or peek into the trees and shrubs that cover the beautiful hills of southern Marin, or admire details in the dramatic sea cliffs. This scene was tailored for a large, detail-filled print, and you'll find yourself drawn to a different part of it every time!
