San Francisco Long Exposure Photography

Long exposure photography from the San Francisco Bay Area. While the Golden Gate Bridge has been photographed to death, the other bridges of the Bay are almost as magnificent and are rarely shot — the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge in particular rewards attention. The collection also includes coastal shots from Point Reyes and Bodega Bay.

Photographs in this album include: Golden Gate Bridge from Fort Point, Golden Gate from Baker Beach, South Beach from Point Reyes lighthouse, The wreck of the “Point Reyes”, Abandoned pier Bodega Bay, San Francisco Refinery at night, and Richmond–San Rafael Bridge.
