San Francisco por Patrick Smith


Gracias a Marta me he encontrado con este genial fotógrafo, Patrick Smith (cuyo copyright pesa sobre todas las fotografías del artículo que podéis ampliar); la verdad es que me ha parecido impresionante y eso que yo no tengo (aún) ojo crítico para la fotografía, todo a su debido momento supongo. Su página web en el enlace.

Yo me he sentido en particular atraído por su portfolio de el área del Golden Gate; Saulsalito y San Francisco, sitio que tiempo ha me enamoró. Os dejo su descripción in english junto con algunas muestras.


"The Golden Gate Bridge is such an icon that most people think that there is no way to capture an original image of it. But with a lot of climbing, hard work and a bit of luck, it is possible. There are many difficult to reach vantage points that are much better for landscape photography than the numerous tourist spots where everybody congregates, if you don't mind scrambling down crumbling cliff sides in the dark that end abruptly with a 300 foot plunge to the ocean below! Also, it is possible to anticipate rare fog and tidal conditions that may happen only a few times per year. Those are the moments you never see in postcards. I am always on the lookout for those moments."
