That spring, I spent a <a href=\"https:\/\/gotravelcalifornia.com\/2-days-in-san-francisco\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/gotravelcalifornia.com\/2-days-in-san-francisco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">weekend in San Francisco<\/a> whereas getting ready to fly again to Montreal after a two-week driving journey by way of California.<\/p>\n<p>I took the featured photograph from\u00a0<strong>Treasure Island<\/strong>, positioned in the midst of San Francisco Bay. Every time I go to the\u00a0<strong>Bay Area<\/strong>, I make certain to search out the time\u2014even whether it is just a few minutes\u2014to absorb certainly one of my favourite metropolis views.<\/p>\n<p>This time, I focused on the colours and architectural patterns of town.<\/p>\n<p>Photographing San Francisco from\u00a0<strong>Treasure Island<\/strong>\u00a0has its personal set of challenges. The island is roughly 2km away from the portal space of downtown. The distance makes it difficult to discover a focal point in each the foreground and midground. Most of the pictures taken from the island have a boring foreground comprised of water and nothing else.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;ve a couple of tips up my sleeve to unravel this downside. Since the channel between the island and town is a busy portal space, it solely takes a couple of minutes till one other cargo ship or barge passes by. It usually makes an attention-grabbing compositional ingredient.<\/p>\n<p>In my case, I didn&#8217;t have to attend lengthy for a cargo ship. Instead, I noticed a paddler approaching my location and made positive to incorporate him as a part of the composition.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide\"><a
