Sunrise on the Bay Bridge
Sunday, November 20, 2011 | Jim Nix 
As I have written here before, I absolutely love the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, CA. It's a marvelous, imposing and beautiful structure. If you happen to follow me on Google+ then you may have seen a couple of iPhone shots I posted from San Fran while I was out there last week. I was very busy at work, but did find some time to get out with the D700 and fire off lots of brackets. The Bay Bridge was an obvious target, and my hotel is pretty close so that makes it easier. Despite several visits here over the last year or so, I had never had the chance to get up and shoot it at sunrise. So, that was a definite goal of mine for last week. And, well...here it is. Sunrise is a beautiful time to shoot, and doubly so when you can share it with the Bay Bridge.
In case you missed it, take a look at my previous post - I am giving away 2 free copies of Topaz Adjust v5!!

Nicely done Jim! I just recently got one of my first sunrise photos this past weekend. It's definitely not the easiest time of the day to get up and out of the house, but it's so beautiful the reward for getting there really does pay off. Glad to hear you're enjoying the D700!
Jim, one sweet shot!!!!
Beautiful framing and warm colors of the sunrise Jim. The Bay Bridge is always an afterthought after the Golden Gate Bridge but it has a great beauty which you have captured so well.
Holy WOW Jim, this is just amazing! One of my favorites of yours! Stunning colors dude!
John, Pete, Len,Dave - thanks so much I really appreciate it!
beautiful shot man. Love the blues and warm oranges in this.
Nicely framed. I like the way the old deck supports (?) in the foreground provide depth to the whole image.
Love the colour and tones in this sky, just beautiful!
Nice, very nice Jim, I dream of the day I can photograph that bridge
Aaron, Mark, Marc and T-Wiz - thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
What a wonderful shot. Outstanding, Jim.
thanks so much Jimi!
