Fog, San Francisco, Dawn
Fog, San Francisco, Dawn. San Francisco, California. December 16, 2010. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Winter fog illuminated by dawn light engulfs the skyline of San Francisco.
The conditions changed radically during the half hour or so during which I stopped on my way to Muir Woods to photograph the San Francisco skyline from above the Golden Gate Bridge. I was initially concerned that the morning would be too clear, since I am usually more interested in scenes with varied atmosphere. When I arrived it was mostly clear, though there was a bit of low fog out over the bay and some low clouds clustered above San Francisco, especially the downtown area where the tops of buildings were in the clouds.
I made a series of photographs of the skyline using my longest lens – others may appear here before long. This was one of the last ones I was able to make as the clouds thickened and eventually blocked my view completely. (What had started as a largely bright and clear early morning eventually evolved into a very foggy scene.)

WOW.
Thanks, Mike. I could probably spend the better part of a lifetime photographing clouds and atmospheric effects and not run out of things to shoot. :-)

I do a ton of storm photography, which is my passion…and so I’m right there with you :) Endless supply of things to shoot.
Mike, then I’m certain that you would share with me the astonishment at those who think the landscape is a static thing that holds still for your leisurely photography! :-)
