Heaven's Gate by PatrickSmith
Lately, people have been requesting photos of the bridge and I really only have a couple taken with the 5D so I thought I better get out there and do a series. This one required another scramble about 300 feet down a crumbly hillside in the dark before sunrise to get a perspective you'll never see. I wanted to set the city just above the bridge deck and get some good foreground, which can not be done from the top of the hill.
I wanted to show the big sky by using a long exposure to give it that 'looking up to Heaven' look. It is an unusual composition but why not? I have many other compositions and the light was changing constantly. And a pano crop works well in this circumstance. I have a couple where the skyline is backlit just as the sun rose into a dark cloud. Here, you can see just the start of it. The beach from the last upload is in the lower left.
By the way, I had to desaturate the RAW file by 4%, as the details were getting lost because of the extreme colour. I have some where the entire sky is a brilliant red and it drowns out everything else.
2 minute exposure @F16 with ND grad 0.9 + 0.6

Thanks Mike and Ian, I did try to capture as much cloud movement as I could. It also prevented the bright spots from getting blown out, as they were averaged into the darker cloud areas.

Fantastic detail in the large version Patrick and wonderful play of light on the water...if I was being extremely picky ..... I just find the foreground steals a lot of the show -esp. the pointy rock and the light just at its top - keeps drawing the eyes to it - a personal thing

I'd be tempted to lose some of that foreground Patrick. Looks a little scruffy and flat (in a colour sense) compared to the rest of the image, which has some fantastic colour, movement in the clouds and a very "big" view.

Nik, perhaps when I desaturated it, the colours on the dead bracken ferns died too. They die back during the dry summer and new green shoots are coming out now. They are a brilliant red, so I may have to fix that.
Keith, it does look a bit scruffy. The bracken really are a bright red but I guess I lost the colour. Still, a more panoramic crop might be the way to go. LOL - Time to drag the panoramic head down the cliff!

Eric, it can easily be seen and I have a shot of it which I may post later, I'm not sure. It will take years for fishing to be back to normal and many beaches are now off limits including the beach in the last upload.
Simon I did lots of experimentation including this one. But here I just quickly set up in the dark to get the amazing sky and pre-dawn light and make the bridge just a small part of the scene.

Great capture of the sky Pat, you caught the colours well here, also like the positioning of the san fran skyline over the bridge. the only way to get the correct exposure is guessing when it's enough then a quick glance at the lcd display and shoot again if necessary, i could never go back to film.
i do agree with Keith about the foreground but it is necessary in this shot for perspective, nice one.

Not a landscape person myself so can not comment on what some see, but I love landscapes even though I can not take them well. Saying that I find this shot incredible and for my own taste this shot is on the money and another Patrick original. I like the strong foreground because of the added depth it provides and you can appreciate how expansive the bridge is, and also how well the ground reaches up to meet the sky, as if to pull over a blanket, excellent work as always.
