You can’t go to San Francisco without getting an image of the Golden Gate Bridge, right? Here’s my version taken from Battery Spencer one evening in Sausalito.

Hope you all have a great weekend! I’ll be hiding from the rain most of the time but before that, here are 3 things I was grateful for this week:

1. 500 px and Fuji Film photowalk. Thanks to DC Focused for hosting!

2. The super moon and seeing awesome images of it from around the world

3. Being home and sleeping in my own cozy bed šŸ™‚

So one night a bunch of us decided to drive down to Davenport and shoot the stars and watch the moonset. It’s so fun to shoot with other photographers. You really get to step out of your comfort zone.

I’m gladĀ Ā A.D. WheelerĀ was there because he so nice to help everyone out with their night shots. He sacrificed so much of his time walkingĀ back and forth making sure everyone had laser focus and their settings were correct. I’ve always admiredĀ Beau Rogers‘ night images. By theĀ the end of the night, I some how made my way next to him and really enjoyed just standing there and talking to him about night shooting. He even let me borrow his lens which was super awesome because the lens that I had was definitely not fast enough to capture all these stars. In all, I’m super grateful for the ArcanumĀ or else I would of never met these awesome guys or any of the other talented photographers I was with in San Francisco.

Woah! ThisĀ post turned into a mush fest real quick. Sorry about that.

So I had to leave my family’s harvest moon dinner celebration a little early to capture this image. It’s ok, I’m not the biggest fan of Chinese food but my dad kept onĀ insisting that there wasn’t going to be a moon because of the clouds.

I left anyways and was determined to get a great shot of the moon.Ā He was partially right. The clouds were really heavy in the early evening but luckily they started breaking up around 8p. By the time I made my way to the Washington Monument, I was in the middle of a photo party of about 10 other photographers all waiting and shooting.
