An image I have ALWAYS Dreamed of | Milky Way Photography with the Golden Gate Bridge

- 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.

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. Simpler ftw.
Same here. I found these lights in the corner too distracting. But still wider image has cool fog waterfall 😃
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!
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! :)
Same for me 👍 Love your images AND this video, AND your message about going with the flow and serendipity!
FINALLY THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE IS GOLDEN
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"!! 😄
I love how he's so nonchalant about capturing the Milky Way. I would be ecstatic to even get a shot like that.
the second one with minimal fog visible is my favourite
“Don’t be afraid to change your plans if the weather is giving you something different.” -Michael Shainblum
Haha not my most profound statment, but hopefully it helps someone with their shooting mindset.
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.
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*
That final closeup of the tower. That’s the one!
This channel is p a i n f u l l y underrated, such amazing content, so glad youtube has let me stumble across this absolute gem of a channel, love the work, keep it up!! your hitting hundreds of thousands of subs in no time im sure of it
As a astro photographer, this can be achieved, once the cloud coverd the light pollution, you can shoot milky way. congratulations! Nice image
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.
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.
Wife Kathy liked the minimalist one, while I liked the other. Gorgeous!!
I prefer the 2nd shot, since the line of clouds is more prominent, stronger....and also the fog is more _wavy_ under the golden gate bridge - it does look extraordinary.
Love this VLOG, Michael! Amazing shots and timelapses. I prefer the more zoomed-in, more minimalist version of the bridge 🙂
I love the pic without the bottom lights. Watching this video was very comforting and relaxing…can’t wait for more!!!
I really like the second picture. Having lived a lot of my life in the Bay Area, I am entranced by the way the fog moves and boils.
I love the one of the flowing fog
Terrific shots as always; can never get enough of your timelapses. I hope the goons and goblins leave you alone while you're stumbling around out there in the dark. I appreciate your effort.
I liked the photo that included the lights at the bottom left.
For me is the simpler photo the better one.
The milky way with the Golden Gate was incredible.
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.
I liked the picture on the right, with the lighting on the bottom left. Added to the warm comfortable atmosphere.
Your Milky Way photo have me excited for this year's season. I'm pumped
I thought that tighter crop at 7:40 was amazing, but really like the way the fog looks like a waterfall in the wider shot at 8:10. LOVE LOVE LOVE the tight crop on the tower from the beach though-that is amazing!!!
I enjoy the second exposure more.
The lights below add depth, some perspective and mystery.
Great work Michael, all the best.
I like the image with the lights and additional fog puffs in the lower left.
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.
Nuts!! 😀 Imagine seeing the Milky way from San Francisco!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Just one word from Brazil: Obrigada! 💯💛💚
I found that little rant at the beginning of the video very relatable. Just the other day I was shooting some sunset photography with myself in the frame, and was running like a headless chicken from the camera to the spot several times... If someone saw it, they probably had a good laugh, or thought I'm crazy. 😂
Thanks a lot for taking us with you in these amazing adventures.
Michael, The longer flow image works better for for me. Thanks for the astonishing imagery , your captures are always amazing 👍
Each one of your videos is a treat to my eyes. I always wait eagerly for your videos! Love how you explain things and show the surroundings!
The one with the bottom lights I like the best, giving some context of the structure. Great video of these great photographs.
Beautiful images Michael. Your calm delivery is what makes your channel to affective. We are along for your journey. Seeing all these images of the bridge from you I need to add to my must visit spots to enjoy this view for myself. I didn't realize there were so many trails with that view! Well done.
Thank you Michael, 2022 starts so well. Bravo.🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Outstanding Michael! Not only are your images exceptional but also your video skills and narration. 👏👍
I prefer The one on the left, the minimalist one. Great shots !
Absolutely gorgeous all of them
The people who are not into the beauty of Astro Photograph, they will think we are weird lol.
Thanks for nice video.
Just unbelieveable.... awesome pictures Michael! Keep on your great work!!! 👍👍👍
Stunning! You have captured the most amazing and beautiful images. You are a true artist.
All those images are F'n Epic sir. Beautiful. Bet you had a blast that night.
Every single image and time lapse in this video is crazy good! And like you said, how could you possibly have planned for that? I have no idea what my favorite is, as they are all both so different and so amazing. The pano with the Milky Way just has me shaking my head. There is no way that I would have believed that was anywhere near possible! Thanks for the reminder to always give something seemingly crazy and unplanned a shot. You just might end up with magic! Oh, and to your question, I like the simplicity of the first image without the distraction of the lights. It has a really ethereal quality.
Beautiful images. That’s it. Just beautiful images.
First video I ever saw. I loved it, you left me enjoying the peace of the beauty.
Beautiful. I prefer the photo to the left. Love the time laps with the fog. xoxo
Beautiful work, i also enjoyed the simpler view without the lights at the bottom. The time lapses were wonderful too.
I'm completely in awe with your work. Thank you for sharing your view of the world with us. That pano was so insanely beautiful it made me cry a little 🥲
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 ✨
THANK YOU, FOGGY LENS! 🌁👓
Simply gorgeous
As always, your photos are just beautiful.
Beautiful images Michael, from a beautiful soul.
It’s crazy. But it’s worth it..
After you’ve done, you feel glad you’re there~
But, make sure you are safe there..
Always inspiring Michael. Your channel is the best.
Oh, wow. I loved the full view. But it was so hard to pick ... as usual.
Dude, all this was absolutely stunning!!!!
Simply amazing. Every photograph is amazing. However, out of the two you requested feedback on, I prefer the minimalist one.
Wonderful evening Michael. I too am surprised that you could get the Milky Way over SF. Will have to share this with my sister in the East Bay Area.
Awesome - I preferred the image showing the fog clouds below the bridge.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story of making an awesome photos!
I prefer the one photograph excluding the road in the bottom left. I feel like the lights of that road and the lights of the bridge fight for attention. The one excluding the road is a lot simpler and more relaxing to look at.
Beautiful photo's!! 😊 The first one is so peaceful and dreaming, but I like the second one too!
Wow, just wow!
Truly stunning MICHAEL!!! I prefer the simplistic shot.
Very nice! I liked the last minimalist one of the bridge the most. I think that one would look nice in black also.
Some wonderful results. Of the two images of the foggy North Tower I preferred the zoomed in version - fewer distractions.
This video is so calming, glad it showed on my recomendation! I hope someday when i was grow enough to go anywhere, i want to take a shot like this, atleast once in my life.
The minimalist picture is more pleasing to me :) very cool!
Excellent shot of the MW over SF! Night photography has its own harried version of persistence. I've sat on intertidal rocks for hours wondering if anyone saw me and thought that maybe I needed help ;-). Or just staying out all night, especially in the northern latitudes, looking for a comp in the ethereal light. Fortunately, very few people are out in the wee hours let alone pre-dawn and post-sunset, often the best times of the day. Keep up the great work!
Spectacular work, Michael and agree with your philosophy on planning shoots. 👍
Gorgeous and magnificent, so thank you for sharing your experience.🙏🏻
Love the one on the left of the bridge. great video.
Great work -- especially the minimalist shot of the GG Bridge at minute 7:18
absolutely STUNNING work!!!
Brilliant video, the minimalist shots were definitely my favourite, cool time lapse.
Your Work is SOoo Beautiful Michael Happy New Year 2022 XO Cheers
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!!
Killer! I have spend some time shooting here and I figured you could get a Milky Way shot with the marine layer blocking out the city lights. Well Done!!!
Both beautiful but I prefer the first more simple comp. Great experience..
Beautiful Michael!!! This was inspiring - I’m heading to SF tomorrow for my first time and really looking forward to shooting in the area.
I prefer the more simplistic scene from the 2 foggy pictures. Great images!
Wow. That was amazing. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this breathtaking video, I so appreciate it! 😄
Stunning Images, Michael
The one on the left. I've seen your photos on Milky Way Scientists. You help teach me astrophotography.
Outstanding vblog and magical images for real!
Nice. Awesome and beautiful.
Amazing video Michael. If you look at the more zoomed out photo, you’ll see the Batman symbol in the clouds @8:10 🦇
I watched a bunch of videos and it is so comforting and peaceful to watch at the compositions, aah those time-lapse jeweled with amazing choice of music. ♥️ Lot to learn from you bro.
I am really glad you enjoyed it, thanks! :)
Stunning shot and composition! Great tips.
Incredible photos!
So majestic and beautiful 😍 you're an amazing photographer ❤ I really am hoping to visit Golden Gate Bridge. This is so fascinating 👏 👌 🙌
Your work is phenomenal, artistic and exceptional. I wish to more learn from you.
the minimal one was my pick
Incredible photos. Congratulations. I prefer the simplier one. But my favorite is the one with the cars trails.
Love the cinematic audio production on this video as well :)
Awesome! I live here in the Bay Area (Oakland). I have been wanting to go to the Marin Headlands at night for quite some time. After seeing this video I will definitely go this weekend.
I like the image that shows more of that bottom section. I have been to the Marin Headlands many times in the daytime, never at night nor in the fog.
great video, I liked the shot that included the lower light to the bottom left. Loved that MW shot with the bridge.
