Golden Gate Bridge and full moon rising

The world famous Golden Gate Bridge with a full moon rising behind it.  Because of the high contrast between a night scene and the full moon, it's very difficult to have the entire scene properly exposed.  Because of that, these images are a composite of two shots.  The first shot was exposed for the night scene and the second was zoomed in and exposed for the moon.  Bob then resized and positioned the moon shot over where the moon was in each of the first shots.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.

Point Bonita Lighthouse at sunset, San Francisco, CA

Two views of the Point Bonita Lighthouse at sunset.  This lighthouse is in one of many units in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in and around the San Francisco Bay area.  This historic lighthouse is perched on a sea stack at the entrance to the Golden Gate and is still in operation.  It requires a hike through a tunnel and over a bridge that looks like a miniature version of the Golden Gate Bridge to get to.  These images show the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean and its light glinting in the lens of the lighthouse.

The lighthouse is only open to visitors this late in the day during Sunset/Full Moon guided tours given by the National Park Service.

Remember it's not just a picture, it's a story.
