Default The Glorious Golden Gate

I took this shot last week in San Francisco and I really liked it. What do you think? I took several shots against the sun but this one came pretty good, I used the highest speed in the camera which I believe is 4000 and the lowest ISO 80.

I love the sepia-looking monotone in this photo. Just a little bit of pincushion lens distortion, and it seems like the horizon is a bit higher on the left, though this could be an optical illusion caused by the distortion.

curious what the f-stop was....I am assuming it was fairly wide open. I would have shot f 16 to better control the sun. Did you get a shot about 45 minutes later with the sun on the horizon? Now that would be awesome!

Hi Patrick. I don't know what the F-Stop was. I did not get another shot later because I arrived at mainland, I was on a Ferry....Thanks for your comment!
