Searching for the Best Golden Gate Bridge Photo Spot

- In San Francisco, I'm looking for the best place for photography of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Find my photography of The Golden Gate Bridge on IG at @brendanvanson.
Here in San Francisco, I woke up early this morning to try a couple new photo locations. I wanted to get a cool photo of the Golden Gate Bridge. And, the truth is, there are hundreds of places to shoot photography of the bridge. And, in the past, I've shot a number of different locations already. Some have been amazing, some have been let downs. Today, I started with Baker Beach.
A good photo spot for the Golden Gate Bridge should have an interesting vantage point. And, in my photography, an important thing is having a foreground to the photo. Baker Beach just didn't have that. And, to be honest, in my scramble to try to find somewhere cool to shoot, I really didn't get a photo at all. But, I pushed over to Marshall's beach.
Marshall's Beach is actually the best place to photograph the golden gate bridge. It's close, it's got lots of cool foregrounds, and there is just a lot of drama there. After taking a couple pictures, I headed back into San Francisco to get @alajode to explore Fisherman's Wharf and some other spots.
Then, in the evening, we went looking for another Golden Gate Bridge photography location. This time, we headed to Fort Baker on the opposite side of the bridge. It made for a really cool place to take pictures. And, though the light was not great. I got some cool photos here.
Tomorrow, on the photography channel, I'm going to Marin Headlands; famously known among locals for being the best place to photograph the Golden Gate Bridge.
Awesome shots, love this place of Golden Gate Bridge. Thank! Brendan.
Amazing episode, love the last shots of Golden Gate Bridge man!
Picturesque, iconic, wonderful! Loving the photography! Keep it coming !
+david nassur thanks David!
Word. I’ve realized that having (barely) started video, I’ve been tempted to head to spots I already know to increase the chances of a good shot. Probably okay for the first few videos, but something to keep an eye on. Nice video as usual mate!
Really liked the portrait of you sitting on the rock. Also, the waves going over those rocks there are beautiful.
normally with storms, the sky gets crazy awesome after it goes off eheh Looking forward for tomorrow's ep :D
the last viewpoint was great :) the anchors make it interesting
+TP-vision Photo yip! The best photos I've taken are all with a storm inbound or outbound.
Heading to San Fran in March. Can't wait to shoot at Marshall Beach. A very helpful post.
You're one of my favorite channels. I hate when its over.
Sorry to hear about the plane sky weather; when I was there towards the end of last week Karl the fog sure gave us a real good show... I will look forward to watching your next video in hopes that you have better luck tomorrow!
Those hills are something else. One cab actually went airborne on the way to Fisherman's Wharf! And my son (who lived there at the time) got quite impatient with my slogging up them.
Just love your enthusiasm whether or not things are great. The moss made the shot!
+Brad Zaruba yeah, that moss was awesome. Totally made the shot.
Great video. And point about sometimes busting.
Awesome video brother! I shoot from the sky and yes Marshall's Beach is one of my favorite locations to catch the ships coming through the Golden Gate Bridge. New sub brother! Keep up the great content...
Thanks man!
Awesome shots I must say! The water kinda looks like eerie fog to me somehow. BTW I recently found your channel(2-3 weeks ago) and I've been loving your content! Since I've been meddling around with web design and Photoshop/Illustrator I was wondering if you could let me try and make an outro background for your videos? Just trying to give back to the community.
There is a good vantage point just at the end of Baker Beach. Where the rocks seem to cut you off from Marshall's Beach. During low tide (not sure how far the water reaches during high tide), you can climb over those rocks and get a nice view. :) Great video!
+Magic Luis yeah, I tried to get there but the tide was too high. Looked like a good spot though!
love the music in this one
+Junaid Lone glad you liked it. By Andrew Applepie.
Nice images. You make every video have a positive.
+Edward Lee thanks Edward!
Great video again. Jodie really did not look happy climbing that hill, or was she just playing to the camera :-) Your comment about sometime you bust as a professional photographer, I think that's true of anyone who is serious about improving their photography, whether your a pro or not. You have to be prepared to fail in order to succeed
+Ralph Goldsmith she was playing for the camera... I think. Haha.
Which camera and lens did you use? Tell us about your filters as well. Thanks
Really nice B roll, Brendan!
Thanks Jan. Lots of help from Greg on that
You both did a great job on that :)
I d say the wet feet payed of... nice shot. Only the Gold Gate B was a bit small in the shot. Almost to powerful an anchor. (I may have tried to cut/frame out the very first big rock in the frame). But well, cant bend the laws of physics or optics... ;)
lovely photos Brendan...you're very dedicated...where are you standing at 5:47? Is that Baker beach or Marshall? Thanks.
Just watched the most recent post from Thomas heading for Zion.....can you feel Heaton on your heels......he's following you two.........
Beautiful portrait with the 50mm, contrast with Jodi's jacket very nice. Check these out they roll up in your pack NRS Boundary Socks with HydroCuff on Amazon.
+allan sisson ohh! Thanks for that too.
When you have a longer exposure and you're doing a self portrait (you had one at 10 seconds)... are you just standing really still for those 10 seconds? Or blending more than one exposure? Just wondering how you keep yourself sharp without motion blur. Thx!
I loved the shot of the steps leading to the ocean!!! Is it available anywhere to purchase?
+dar biz you can email me at brendanvanson@gmail.com for pricing.
San Fransisco looks awesome! Do you use Airbnb much? Any thoughts on Airbnb vs "traditional alternatives" like price and availability in different countries?
+Patrik Forsberg i use Airbnb a lot. But, usually the motels in the US are just as cheap and more convinent
+1 for AirBnB in SF. I'm a local, hotels here are expensive and mostly in the tourist-heavy parts of the city. But SF has so much more to offer and you can get really great deals while staying in Japan Town or one of the other neighborhoods with real character. Also, all the best food is not near the tourist traps. (You don't think we let the tourists have the best stuff, do you?)
Where's the sunset shot?
Those hills in SF are steep, and will kick your arse!
+CarlosVanVegas at Fort Baker.
Which spot was the last shot? Those slippery rocks?
+Saravanan Sankar down at Fort Baker.
Great shots of the Gate. Come back when we have fog and take some shots of the towers just peeking over them.
p.s. Glad you liked Fort Baker. That's my favorite place for blue hour Gate photos.
Not a fan of SF but that’s really beautiful.
+Paul Burley thanks!
Cool photos!!! Try waterproof socks. Check out Nick Page vlog he uses them all the time. Handy for you as they take up little space when traveling
i miss in-n-out
+BrentRosePhotography so good!
What are those gloves?
+Scott Donaghe they are photography gloves by Vallerret.
17min in and I’m already 2nd......
+BinBin Zheng 17 points!
Man the piers are the worst part of the city! Everything is overpriced, the food is some of the most mediocre in the city, it's always packed with tourists... Hit up The Mission, Japan Town, Hayes Valley. Those are more about SF than the tourists and there's lots of awesome food there. Though the best Asian food is in the Richmond and Sunset.
Also, the place you shot in the morning is gorgeous at sunset.
+Doug Stewart wish I had more time to do all that. Need to go back!
You definitely do!
Yeah, that clam chowder in the mission district.... NOT. :-P
+Matthew Saville, if you're making a gay joke it'd be the Castro, not Mission. Best clam chowder in the city is along the Embarcadero anyway.
How do you not know what a one wheel is? lol... Peter Mckinnon and Casey Neistat both have them.
+David Penner what's a one wheel??
+David Penner ohhhh the unicycle thing? Haha. Just because I'm on RUclips doesn't mean I live in the RUclips world hahaha
...Does Graveyard Girl have one too? :-P What about Jeffrey Star?
Odd socks?
+Stephen Stringer that's how I roll. Haha
