On Saturday morning I was up at 4:30am with my bags packed for the airport to return home later that day to Ireland. First, my second attempt to capture another image of the bridge…
Morning light was uneventful from the Marin headland. So shortly after dawn I crossed back over the bridge to see if I could capture alternate images of this iconic structure. Three things left to explore, colour, structure, and scale.
For colour, I kept pairing back the composition (like all great artists:-) ) to the most basic recognisable impression of the subject, and came up with this image…
Scale has many more possibilities. You don’t have to wait long for a sailing vessel large or small to pass under the bridge to be dwarfed.
Structure was more obvious, but in hindsight I should have walked the bridge and taken many more close up images. Maybe next time!
