Title: San Francisco Park
I was lucky enough to be a part of the Hanger One multi-birthday celebration event that happened a few days ago. Basically, there are six of us who have birthdays within days of each other. It was decided to have one big party to celebrate everyone getting older, and what better place to do so than Hanger One! We had cake, fireworks, crazy amounts of food, and of course, great booze!
While the party was rocking, I looked out and saw the San Francisco skyline and knew that I HAD to get a shot of it. I setup my stuff, and started shooting. I got about 15-20 shots that were all "okay", but nothing that was spectacular (I think I needed to modify my settings a bit - a smaller aperture would have been a good idea). When I got home, I realized that since none of the shots were great that I would try to do a HDR with them. This is the final output. I like the colors and there is enough detail to really identify specific San Fran landmarks (not just the bridge). What I didn't really notice the entire time was the fence that matched up almost perfectly with the skyline. Had I thought about it, or had I been able to see the little screen better on the camera, I would have moved closer to the fence so it would have not been in the shot. But, after looking at it, I kind of like it. It gives the feel that the city is fenced in and isolated from the rest of the world. It also gave me the idea of the "San Francisco Park", only the entire city is the park.
Enjoy!
