Golden Trails

I had been planning something like this since I did a successful test a couple of months earlier (also in San Francisco but at a different location). Finally, I decided to go for it, but when I arrived, the haze in the air was so horrible I almost turned back. Still, I did a couple of tests and I could see stars in the photos, and since I was also so comfortable at that setting, I decided to at least try. As the night went by, the haze was getting worst, and at 1am I felt I was wasting my time, and I packed and went home. Some post-processing and I have to say that considering the conditions, I was happy with the results. You can sense the haze around the bridge (it was a lot worst naked-eye) but I didn’t want to force the contrast any more than that — better get a bit of that murky feeling, since that’s what was actually happening.
