  • One of the most incredible evenings I have ever had creating landscape photography in San Francisco. The fog was gorgeous and I even had the opportunity to shoot some milky way photos
    Thanks to my good friend Joe Pierce for filming the Kirby cove scenes and lending me his A7R4 to film on.

    This was actually filmed back in 2020 before I switched to my new Sony Cameras.

    I had to chuckle at your opening comments about non-photographers perceiving us as "absolutely crazy." Several years ago, I was standing in the middle of the Anza-Borrego Desert trying to capture the Perseid meteor shower at around 1:30 a.m. A sheriff came up on my car parked on the side of the county road (S-2), stopped, and turned his searchlight on. He spotted me, my camera, and tripod and must have just shrugged his shoulders and moved on. I do appreciate the fact that he was concerned enough to stop when he saw a car by the roadside in the middle of the desert, and, no, his light didn't interrupt a shot.
    Great video, as always, "Foggy Lens"!! 😄

    Photographers seem crazy even to other photographers sometimes hahaha, so for sure! I never get tired of seeing this Michael. How you display the images you take, how you explain your thought process, the music that you use to compliment it all. Just incredible *Chef's kiss*

    In answer to your question, I'd say the simpler view was best. In the second photo I found myself constantly looking between the bridge and the lights to left but, for some reason, not in a pleasurable way. The first image was more harmonious/relaxing for me. Love the time-lapses! I think yours are usually the best I see on here! Cheers!

      Same here. I found these lights in the corner too distracting. But still wider image has cool fog waterfall 😃

    • @utopia113
      @utopia113 2 роки тому

      Agree, I kept looking at the lights which took me away from the best part of the images.
      Love the Milky Way pano, awesome work!

    • @magdalennarose
      @magdalennarose 2 роки тому

      It's interesting to see different perspectives. I preferred the full waterfall photo, seeing the lights at the bottom as drips from the river of light above! :)

    Be forever know as “THE FOGGY LENS” so fitting for a someone who is the master of stunning captured fog shots.
    May it be lightning, rock formations etc you are the complete photographer Michael.
    You are also so pleasant to listen to and I am looking forward to your next videos. If one word can describe your photography it is Gorgeous

    This guy is the Bob Ross of photography....his casual speech and cadence is very comforting. The videos are very informative and have good setup and backstory...and finish with a lesson learned. Keep up the good work.

    Love this VLOG, Michael! Amazing shots and timelapses. I prefer the more zoomed-in, more minimalist version of the bridge 🙂

  • @jonsinky911
    @jonsinky911 2 роки тому

    Less is more the last two were great but the last for me is the outright winner. The pano with the Milky way and bridge is a keeper to have two iconic images in one frame what's not to love.

  • @8Olivia8

    I liked the photo with the lights showing on the bottom left. I totally loved this magical adventure. You are an artist, and you are right about working with what you are presented with. Thank you for this amazing view of our Earth and the Heavens.

    The Milky Way shot was epic. You captured a rare moment especially with the fog, which probably helped attenuate some of the light pollution so often generated by large cities. Well done.

  • @Photographytipsbyjidhun

    the second one with minimal fog visible is my favourite

    The lights below add depth, some perspective and mystery.

  • @metalmick99
    @metalmick99 2 роки тому

    Yes Michael, landscape photographers aren't right in the head. A couple of weeks before your clip I had wriggled and climbed through a safety barrier to get a waterfall shot. I'm terrified of heights but had my tripod leg just a few centimetres from a good 40-50 metres drop. And I'm so glad I made it back intact to see your latest efforts: simply gorgeous images. Your clips are always interesting, entertaining, and instructive.

    And, in answer to your question, I liked the second one best. But the last photo was the one that truly touched me, I even paused the video to get a better view of it. And as I did, the only word I could think of was "rare". A rare perspective, a rare photo, a rare person ✨

    Michael that was an awesome video! I would never imagine that you could see the milky way with the lights of San Francisco on the horizon. Your 1st shot of the evening of the bridge and the car lights and the pano shot of the MW and SF bridge peaking out were breath taking really great work! I prefer the minimalist photo the best.

  • @jaycee6996
    @jaycee6996 2 роки тому +2

    Brilliant! I feel the simpler view was better. The bluish shining clouds looked like noctilucent clouds. These are not common. It was great to have all the components, Milky Way, fog, bridge, clouds coming together magically all at one time. That is how great photographs are made.

  • @RFranks

    Hi Michael, hope all is well with you and your family. What a great video and huge photos!! My personal favourite is the one with both the Golden Gate and the Milky way!!! But regarding your question about both fog over the bridge, my favourite of those two is most definitly the more minimalist one.
    Once again all the best to you, and thank you for this great video and stunning photos. Congrats!!
