The Bridges of San Francisco Bay

Bridges are a popular subject for photography. Here is my growing collection. My favorite among these is the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. While the others were taken from land or in Coit Tower, the Richmond-San Rafael photo was taken aboard the Baylink Ferry as it cruised across the bay at its top speed. This one had to be fast! Battling wind and spray at the stern of the ferry, I set my camera to burst, checked the lens for water drops and fired.

When I left Bliss Dance and Treasure Island, I set my iPhone in its dash mount and recorded a brief video of the new eastern span of the Bay Bridge.
