San Francisco: Bridges and Beyond Workshop
|
Photos from the last few workshops
|
We've been taking groups all over San Francisco for years, helping them learn the ins and outs of photography at all times of the day. When folks complete all our 1-day classes in the city they often ask, "When are you going to make more classes in the Bay Area?" Well, we've finally put together the next logical step for photographers looking for more adventure in and around San Francisco. Itinerary
We love to explore San Francisco with our clients, and we're so excited to take our groups around for another adventure!
Our first night we will make the hike down to Marshall Beach. This little nugget has amazing shots of the Golden Gate Bridge and plenty of rocky foregrounds and wave action to capture a dynamic image that gives the image pop from front to back. After sunset we'll head back into the North Bay, Here we'll grab a late meal, and get a good night's rest for our first full day of shooting. DAY 2
That night for sunset we'll capture the Golden Gate Bridge from one of the numerous vantage points within the city! We'll also make sure we get a good night shot of the bridge in there as well!
Our 3rd morning will begin with a trip to the waterfront to photograph the Bay Bridge at sunrise. We've shown a lot of folks this place at night, but it's also beautiful in the morning! After our sunrise shoot, we'll walk down to Pier 7 to get another shot of the city from a different vantage point before grabbing a quick breakfast at the Ferry Building. After our morning shoot, we'll head back to the hotel for a break and give some time for our instructors to work with the group on post-processing their images so that they look their best. Our afternoon we'll head to Fort Point for a couple of hours of exploration in this civil war era fortress conveniently located at the base of the Golden Gate. Then we'll head down the coast to have dinner in Pacifica and grab some long exposures of the waves crashing against the Pacifica Pier. We'll conclude our evening with a sunset shoot of the Pigeon Point Lighthouse, arguably one of the most beautiful and iconic lighthouses in the bay! ![]() :: Is the itinerary set? :: The planned itinerary is listed above, but weather, and unforeseen events can sometimes change locations for a planned shoot. We will always try our best to make sure we cover all the spots in the itinerary, but we do have backup locations in case of special circumstances. :: What is meant by 'extreme' ? :: This means we'll be doing a lot of walking. Plan on walking 6-7 miles a day on Day 2 and 3. A couple of these hikes are up steep hills, and can take some time. Our first sunset shoot at Marshall beach can have some uneven ground as well, please make sure to wear sturdy, comfortable shoes. :: Is transportation provided? :: Each student is responsible for their own transportation during the workshop. :: Can a non-photographer friend or spouse attend the workshop? :: Non-photographer friends and or spouses are welcome to attend but will be liable for their transportation. For more information, please contact the Aperture Academy staff.
